Gullet Area Factor
Gullet area factor is 0.42 for square back tooth, 0.52 for round back
Depth of cut Inside (
in
)
?
Depth of cut Inside
The depth of cut for the bottom inside saw of one side. This saw is cutting the inside sideboard of a possible two sideboard cant. Typically this saw will be buried close to it's maximum depth. This value must be greater then 0.
Depth of cut Outside (

?
Depth of cut Outside
The depth of cut for the bottom outside saw of one side. This saw would be used when cutting a two sideboard cant. Set this value to 0 for a one sideboard cant.
