Revise: Stock Forms and Quantity CalculationMetal is commonly supplied in standard sizes and stock lengths. The dimensions needed depend on the form: a length alone does not tell you whether a piece will fit the design.
Check how many pieces fit into each stock length or sheet. Dividing the total required length by the stock length can underestimate the purchase quantity.
Allow for cutting waste when it is given, and round purchase quantities up to whole stock lengths or sheets.
