Main and interaction effects are reported using p values (p) and effect size (M²p).
* expresses a significant difference between males and females (main effect of sex)
† expresses a significant difference between 30° and 60° (main effect of cutting angle)
‡ expresses a significant sex ‡ cutting angle interaction.
