Make hexagon with mitre saw

[@tlan]

To achieve 100mm sides you start with a 200mm wide bit of wood https://www.omnicalculator.com/math/hexagon

173.2cm

That's not the overall width, that's the diagonal width which is irrelevant and no use to the OP if he used the method described in the video.

Sorry Freddy, if he wants hexagons with sides of 100mm, using the method in the video, he wants to start with a length of wood 173mm wide.

I make it 200mm wide! If the sides, are each 100mm, then 100mm is the radius, therefore the diameter must be 200mm.

The width of the board needs to be the distance from one edge to the opposite edge, right?

Oh yeah you might be right chaps.
