How Do You Cut A Hexagon With A Table Saw?
If you have a project that requires accurately sized and proportioned hexagons, follow these steps for a precise method to draw a symmetrical hexagon and use a sliding miter gauge to ensure that the hexagon’s sides are cut precisely at the correct angles. Click on the thumbnail diagrams to enlarge them. Set up the stock you are cutting on a flat work surface to draw out the hexagon. If the stock is a single, solid piece of wood, orient it so that the grain of the wood runs vertically. Draw a circle on your stock, sized so that the hexagon you want to cut will fit inside it exactly. Measure and mark a line that divides the circle exactly in half horizontally. Measure the radius of the circle, which is half of the circle’s width. Make a mark at the endpoint of the dividing line and measure with the radius length from that point across the inside edge of the circle, intersecting the circle at the next point, as shown in the diagram. Mark six points around the edge of the circle using the
