Question:

Need help cutting angles to weld aluminum?

I need to weld 2 solid 1 inch thick bars of aluminum together at a 65 degree anglethat is the inside, not outside angleall of the measurements need to be exactWhat I need to figure out is what slant I should cut the ends of both bars on so that they fit together making the inside angle 65 degreesI'm not sure what the math used to figure this out would beI do have access to design programs like auto-cad but i'd prefer to do this simple and on paperI hope I was clear on what i need help with, Let me know if you need more details, any help is appreciated.

Answer:

I am a bad person, I chuck it allI used to recycle then it became too much of a hassle to find a recycling place so i just trash it all now.
I used to recycle, then I didn't for a few years, now I recycle againNYC kept changing around the things you could recycle for awhile and I never knew what was going on so I just threw it all awayNow I recycle all glass, most plastic and cansIt's actually better for me to recycle all the bottles because they take up so much space in the garbage canI'd rather take out a small bag of recycling every few days than huge bags of garbageI don't collect too much paper so I don't recycle itI live in an apartment building and they have all the different cans outside the building so it's easy.
The angle with respect to the line along the pipe itself should be 65/2 32.5 degreesMeasuring with respect to a line that cuts the pipe at a normal, right angle would be 90 - 32.5 57.5 degreesNot sure which of these you wantedDrawing a picture on paper and labeling things helps.
