Arris rail at 45 degree would be close enough the metal will easily deflect to correct the 5 degree error.

I did wonder this. I wasn't sure how easily it would bend. Ignoring that 5-degree error would be the easiest solution.

I think noggins would be easier. Attach a noggin to the first rafter and the last, join them with your track (or straight edge) and then...

That's an excellent point about the rafter line, I hadn't consdiered that... it probably would be wonky and after all that effort too...

No, it is solely for the top track. As its the roof it needs to be a "deflection track". That means the vertical studs and plasterboard...

I have the same issue but my angled rafters are at 40-degree pitch. I was going to use tilt fillet/arris rail but they are all 45⁰ and...

I have the same issue except my sloping ceiling is 40 degree angle. What method is best to shave down a 45 degree fillet/arris to the...

Just needs an angled fillet of timber fixed to the ceiling then fix the frame to that. If it is a perfect 45 degree angle then something...

I honestly thought a tilt fillet would be the easiest thing. I could even attach top plate to it to make sure it was straight. Noggins...

It is for a partition wall in the loft made from metal stud and track. The top track runs perpendicular to the rafters at an angle...

Not terribly. Can be rough sawn. 73mm base and 40-degree angle are most important. This rounds out to be about 62mm on the side and...

Yeah sounds that way. I was quite shocked by the apathy over the phone. Having said that, I've just rung Lawsons and the chap there...

The wood yard near me is a more helpful than yours then :( If you want to do the job yourself, you'd need a table saw. Just make sure...

I tried that with the one that sells this piece but they said the machines can't/won't be recalibrated for small job. Asked a few...

I need a long (5.1m) length of tilt/fillet or arris rail BUT with a 40-degree angle. I found this and it was pretty close, I am...
