Re: Arch Forms for Oven Door - The Calculation? In the calculation where you've arrived at z=y/2sin(x), you've assumed that you're working with a right-angled triangle, but I don't think it is. The angle appears to be slightly less than 90°, and would reduce with increasing opening width.
This might explain the small discrepancy between David's CAD figure and your calculated one.
