I am bulding a Guitar Neck so I need that exact angle. I was going to
cut it on my table saw.
I've never seen a table saw with a tilt scale worth a damn.
make a test cut, nudge the saw, repeat.

I need to figure out the taper angle on a piece of wood. Can
someone
help me out?? The piece is 18 7/16" long. The top is 1 11/16" wide

the bottom is 2 3/16" wide. What angle would I need to cut that?
Doesn't anybody know how to do simple trig anymore?
Basically you have a 1/2" taper (2 3/16 - 1 11/16") over 18 7/16"
long
piece
inv cosine (.5/18.4375)
=88.44 deg.
or 1.56 deg, depending on how you want to measure it.
