How far in from the original size of the baffle

How far in do I make my cut on the baffle for a 5 gallon pale and how much do I cut out on the baffle? I tried to search the site for a answer but could not find one.
                                      Thank You Very Much

There are no plans that specifically address cans/buckets on a size by size basis.  You have to size the top for the 5-gallon bucket by measuring it.  Then you have to center the outlet, and position the inlet so it is as close to the side of the bucket as possible.

I don't think I explained myself very clearly here. You have a circle about the diameter of the bucket and there is a cutout that looks to go about 3/4 around the diameter of the baffle. ? how far in do I make that
3/4 cut around and is there a distance where I start and stop that cut. Sorry I hope I'm making since.

You do not have to answer my question. I think I found it in a old post.

Not sure if I did mine completely right, but I measured in 1-1/8" and using a large compass I drew the inner circle, then measured the circumference, divided by 3, and marked those spots, ran my radial lines to the center and cut out the outer ring except for that remaining 1/3 on the band saw / jig saw...

Yep, dbhost got it.

Thanks for the reply, I did find the answer in a very old post. I just wasn't getting the idea of cutting out
240 degrees and the 1 1/8 or 1/4 depending on the size of the baffle. Again Thank You.
