Miter
Miter is a program to generate tables, for setting out and cutting walls with
odd angled corners.To build a corner that's not 90 or 45 deg, you need to miter
cut the blocks. For every angle there is a cut size for which the off-cut will
go next course and be half bond. Whith a 3/4 there are two combinations.
The stretcher cut is a STRETCHER MATCH and with a 3/4 a
STRETCHER-3/4 MATCH.
You can also cut 3/4 blocks, giving more combinations.
To build a wall, mitered corner to mitered corner, start with a stretcher match
and you've saved half your cuts.
Choose Angle to Angle for walls with both ends
mitered, or Square to Angle for walls with only one end mitered.Enter the type
of blocks and angle of the wall your building and use the Table generated to
set out and cut the blocks. Find the walls length measurement in the table, and
it tells you the number of blocks, and cut sizes, listing the matching off-cut
sizes in Blue
or Green
If you can open or tighten to one of these
colored entry measurements, both ends of the wall will work with off-cut
matching. If you can't open or tighten, you still save half the off-cuts,
because you always start with a Stretcher Match.
Choose between standard metric
block sizes, 100 Series to 300 Series. .If you are designing a building with
odd angled corners, use Miter's tables to find the wall lengths that optimize
offcut matching. This will greatly simplify set out and cutting, and save up to
half the cutting. Click Calculate to generate a sheet with
wall length measurements and matching offcut dimensions. eg for a wall 1520 mm
long. go down the left length column to the 1500 entry and then across to the
20 (1520) colomn and the entry is 2 350.
So start with a Stretcher Match, go 2 more stretchers then another Stretcher
Match (the 350) to bond. To generate a sheet with Setback and Across
measurements for all angles for a seires click Series Sheet.The
Across measurement is the measurement accross the angle from 1
meter up each side of the angle.Use the Across measurement to set or find the angle
