Repeated Part Slab Layout Estimate

Estimate a row-and-column slab layout for identical rectangular pieces with kerf and optional rotation.

Inputs

Note

Usable slab length (in)

Range: at least 0.01 in

Enter usable dimension after shop-selected trim and defect exclusions.

Usable slab width (in)

Range: at least 0.01 in

Enter usable dimension after shop-selected trim and defect exclusions.

Repeated piece length (in)

Range: at least 0.01 in

Bounding dimension along the selected orientation.

Repeated piece width (in)

Range: at least 0.01 in

Bounding dimension across the selected orientation.

Separating kerf (in)

Range: at least 0 in

Use measured blade kerf. Zero is an idealized no-kerf bound; enter 0 only when intentionally estimating no kerf.

Required identical part count

Range: at least 1

Enter the total whole-part quantity required. Core validates the minimum but does not enforce integer-only input.

Allow 90-degree rotation

Only allow rotation when grain direction and finish permit it.

Best permitted grid yield

—

Part face-area utilization of estimated slabs (%)

—

Grid yield without rotation (pieces/slab)

—

Grid yield after 90-degree rotation (pieces/slab)

—

Estimated slabs for required parts
