Base (Floor)


If you're cutting ply (or any thick material) for your pyramid, when you cut the triangle segment's hip edges, set your circular saw bevel (tilt) angle to the Triangle Segment Edge Bevel Angle so the edges join neatly.

Set your circular saw bevel angle to when you cut the base of the triangle segments to level the base.

Make sure you cut in the right direction, so the cut bevels inward from the outside edges of the pyramid.
Looking at each triangular face segment (as in Side Segments diagram above) from the outside, with the base at the bottom, cut Anticlockwise around the triangle - the right hand side from bottom to top, the left hand side from top to bottom, and the base from left to right.

How to Print Large Templates over multiple pages.
If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!
