Rectangular cutting length estimator
The rectangular cutting length estimator adds up the total cut length when every piece is cut round all four sides.
Result and working notes
Use 100% print scaling for this record. The sketch is not life-size and must not be used as a cutting pattern. Check measurements against the real materials.
Cut perimeter of one piece: 50 cm
Shared grid cuts can reduce travel. The estimate is not a cutting time or a safety instruction.
| Cut perimeter of one piece | 50 cm |
| Total separate-perimeter cut length | 15 m |
| Separate straight edges to cut | 120 |
