When I look at the frames that people build I noticed that everyone uses the same method when cutting the frame pieces. I'm referring to the kick up in the rear. The bottom of the frame is left straight and the top part of the frame is left straight, the part that connects the two pieces (upright piece) has the angles cut on both ends. My question is why doesn't anyone split the angle and cut all three pieces? For instance, if you want a 90 degree angle you cut both pieces at 45 degrees and weld them together. What I normally see is the bottom piece is not cut and the upright piece is cut at whatever angle is desired. Does cutting the frame pieces this way disperse the stress better or is it just easier to only cut one piece?[S
