For example if you have 30 feet of guttering the calculation is 1 4 x 3 0 75 i e. Then use a pencil to trace the outside edge of the framing square s tongue. Then position the trim to the right of the saw. As a general rule gutter slope is set at 1 4 inch per 10 feet of guttering.

Step 1 measure carefully and determine angles the 90 degree turns that must be made by your seamless gutters to go around the corners of your house are accomplished by attaching to pieces of gutter at the corner that are both cuts at 45 degree angles in relation to each other. To get started measure the side of the house directly under the gutter to determine its length in feet. Turn the angle gauge clockwise until it is oriented to the left hand 45 degree angle setting. Cut a 45 degree angle in a piece of trim with a miter saw.

For example if the gutter is 16 feet long the end near the down spout must be 1 inch lower than the starting end. The plumb or ridge cut is made at the top of the rafter. Multiply the number of feet by 1 16 inch to determine the total slope the gutter requires. Choose which end of your rafter you want to be the top.

Doing this is similar to cutting an outside corner.
