Cut lists

Have a problem with cut lists. Board Stock Summary Qty. Material Linear Inches
(including Saw Blade Kerf) Stick Length Width Thickness
1 Red Oak 1824mm 3660mm 200mm 22mm
1 Red Oak 1792.86mm 3660mm 100mm 22mm
Total Board Feet Per Material
Red Oak Total: 7.321 bd. ft.

This calculation is wrong. It shows 7.321 bd. ft. or as we in Ireland say cubic foot. This material would not make 1 bd. ft. What is the problem? What am I doing wrong?[/img]

it might be a metric issue. if you change to inches, does it calculate it correctly?

No Rick, same thing.

Can you attach your cabinet or job that this is happening with? Thanks.

Michael,
A Board Foot is equal to 12\" X 12\" X 1\".
It is not a Cubic Foot which would be 12\" X 12\" X 12\"

Hi Michael, I don't quite understand. You have four dimensions in each row, what's what?

Sorry Rick. The 3660mm is stick length. The measurements are the wood used. I just copied and pasted from the cut list. It did not paste as it copied.

Kerry, thanks my mistake. I have always used cubic foot.

Thanks Rick Deskins and Rick Palechuk and Kerry. Hope I didn't wast anyone's time. Have a nice weekend.

That's right. We all learn from each other.
