Calculation method
Calculation method
Slips per course
ceil((a+e)/(c+e))
Courses
ceil((b+e)/(d+e))
Face slips including cut positions
ceil((a+e)/(c+e))*ceil((b+e)/(d+e))
Corner slip units
ceil(f/(d+e))
Final face slip cut width (mm)
a-(ceil((a+e)/(c+e))-1)*(c+e)
Symbols and units

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Rectangular straight-bond face with positive last cut width; corners entered as separate runs and not double-counted in face width. No adhesive, support or bond design. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
