Gullet area factor
?Gullet Area FactorGullet area factor is 0.42 for square back tooth, 0.52 for round back
Depth of cut Inside (in)
?Depth of cut InsideThe 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 (in)
?Depth of cut OutsideThe 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.
Sawdust expansion factor
?Sawdust Expansion FactorSawdust expansion factor is 1.8 to 2.0 for slow growing species (ie. Northern Spruce) and 2.5 for fast growing species (ie. Southern Yellow Pine)
