When I used to use a 4 colour printing machine it was quite old and basic, it had wooden platens with two of the corners cut off at a slight angle, which fitted nicely into the shoulders of the t-shirts.

I don't have that machine anymore and I'm making a one colour press out of wood and I need to know what angle I should cut off the corners so that the t-shirts fit?

I dont want it to be like the more common ones now with a curved lump on one edge. If anyone has these same wooden platens, an outline of the shape on their computer or even just the angle I should use please let me know.

Not sure what the angle is but when i made some quite a while ago i just laid a few different t-shirts down on a table and traced the shoulders. all the shirts were surprisingly close as far as the shoulder angle. that way i just measured the angle based off of that line... then i knew the angle to put my miter saw to.
