    Angle set from 2 squares

    there are times when I want to check the set back or an angle for a bend I just grab a tri square and a small frame square or other straight edge
    Often I do not need to know what the angle is although it would be easy enough to calculate I just need to know the set back for a bend.
    This is how I did it
