Timber Framing Angle: C5
C5 = Hip Rafter Backing Angle, the Saw Blade Bevel Angle to cut an edge bevel on a Hip Rafter or trough on a Valley Rafter. Also the Saw Blade Bevel Angle when cutting along the Sheathing Angle, the angle on the face of the Purlin set in the plane of the roof (the Sheathing Angle) or the complementary Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle. This plane is perpendicular to the hip rafter slope line.





The Hip-Valley Roof Ratios Angle Formulas were developed by Joe Bartok.

The Timber Framing Hawkindale Angle Formulas were developed by Rees Hawkins Acheson from the Martindale Hip and Valley Roof Angles and Hawkindale angle drawings by Ed Levin of the Timber Framers Guild.

The Hawkindale angles were based on the book by Frank L. Martindale "Bevel Angles for Three Dimensional Connections" 1948 that was based on the book "Hip and Valley Design" by H. L. McKibben and L. E. Gray published in 1912.
