Why not just divide 360 by the number of sides. This gives you the angle
of
each joint. Mitre each side joint at half this angle and assemble.

8 sides = 360/8=45
45/2=22.5

There, just mitre at 22.5 degrees.

If you read higher up in the thread I made that same BASIC suggestion a few
days back. Actually I divide the sides by the number of end cuts needed.

More simply put, 360 divided by double the sides.

360/(4 sides x 2 end cuts) = 45
360/(8 sides x 2 end cuts) = 22.5
360/(60 sides x 2 end cuts) = 3



This only works with shapes of 4 or more sides, it doesn't work for a
triangle.
