INCH-FOOT DEFINITION

An in-ft is a measure of how much material is to be cut.

An in-ft is defined as: depth in inches times length in feet.

Note: 129 in-ft = 1 m2

Example: How many in-ft are in this doorway?

1.Determine the depth of the cut in inches. For this example, 8 inches.

2.Determine the length of the cut in feet. 3+7+3+7=20 feet

3.Multiply the two numbers 8 in x 20 ft = 160 in-ft
