    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_breaching

    According to US urban warfare doctrine, the breaching operation is performed with the muzzle in contact with the door, or as close as possible, and angled downwards at a 45-degree angle. This process provides the best chance of hitting the desired point, while minimizing risk to occupants of the room being breached. [4]

  4. Miter square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miter_square

    A miter square or mitre square is a hand tool used in woodworking and metalworking for marking and checking angles other than 90°. Most miter squares are for marking and checking 45° angles and its supplementary angle, 135°. [1] [2] A miter is a bevelled edge – usually 45° – used, for example, for making miter joints for woodworking. [2]

  5. Combination square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_square

    Mitre square, for marking and referencing 45° angles, such as in woodworking for mitre joints. Spirit level, to check if a surface is level or similarly if a surface or edge is plumb (vertical). Depth gauge or height gauge. Form of marking gauge for marking lines parallel to an edge, by setting the head to a certain distance from the end of ...

    They are commonly made from clear plastic. The most common set squares are 45° squares, (one 90° corner and two 45° corners) and 60/30 triangles (a 90°, a 60° and a 30° corner). Another type of set square is an adjustable square, which features an edge that can be adjusted to any angle from 0° to 90°. [19] [20]

    A plan and side view of a generic, empty canal lock. A lock chamber separated from the rest of the canal by an upper pair and a lower pair of mitre gates.The gates in each pair close against each other at an 18° angle to approximate an arch against the water pressure on the "upstream" side of the gates when the water level on the "downstream" side is lower.

  9. Speed square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_square

    The sum of the angles equals 90 degrees (22.5° +67.5°= 90°). It is also obvious from a visual check when using a protractor that where the instruments displays 22.5° is actually 67.5° on the protractor. Many newer slide miters and miter boxes display both angles. Some of the new calculators have a 0° and a 90° references.
