Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Number of Resaw Cuts = 2
  • Effective Log Height (Cant Depth) = 0.254
  • Log Length = 4.2672
  • Log Small-End Diameter = 0.3048
  • Band Saw Blade Kerf Thickness = 0.00254

Expected Result:

  • Resaw Yield Percentage = 98

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Resaw Yield Percentage = 98 %.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

resaw yield percentage = (1 - (band saw blade kerf thickness * number of resaw cuts * log small-end diameter * log length) / (log small-end diameter * log length * Cant Depth)) * 100
