Board Length Calculation

Good morning -
I'm curious about the WTP calculation for "Board Length". I usually take the ring's outside diameter and multiply it by pi. The WTP calculation is always less than mine. I attached a sample layout, to include my calculation as a reference. Can anyone explain why? Not a big deal. Just curious.

Thanks!

Robert

The following thread has a discussion on Segment Edge Length and board length.
In WTP there are two board length for information. One is using the economy board length were the stock is flipped after each angle cut. The other is gain matching which the board in not filliped. Hence grain match board will be longer.


SEL formula

Given the notion that the number of segments divided into the circumference of a bowl gives you the Segment Edge Length, I'd like to understand why there's a difference in the SELs in Segment Pro vs a plain calculation. For example: for a 6" 12 segment bowl the formula would be (3.1416 * 6 ) /...

Cutting the Segments
Woodturner PRO will calculate the exact width and length of the board required to yield the desired number of segments, allowing for the kerf of your saw. You must add an appropriate amount to the length of the board to allow you to safely cut the last segment.
