The quote handoff carries your inputs and assumptions. Only an explicit base cost is suggested as a quote cost; prices, rates and measurements remain planning notes.
How it works
Reserve one full kerf for each separated strip, except an exact final strip ending at the stock edge. This is a conservative straight-rip plan.
- Trim is removed from each edge before layout. Stock must already have a straight reference edge. The displayed remainder excludes planned kerf.
Use this in your project
Continue with the next measurement or cost, then keep the assumptions with your quote.
