[QUOTE="jlund10, post: 8722328, member: 679152"] I've watched a couple videos and tried out 90 degree kerf bending, the actual cutting technique makes perfect sense to me. I also understand that in order to get a 3 inch radius, I need 9 inches of total kerf length what I don't get is how to factor the kerf bend into the length of material I need to cut. If I were building a normal slot port enclosure, I would have my baffle length of 25.75" and my first port wall length of 9.5 inches. Now if i want to make a kerf port to this same size does that mean I would simply add the length of 25.75+9.5" and kerf a 35.25" long piece? Secondly where do i begin the kerf? would it be right where the baffle would normally end or before it. Thanks for the help. there are a lot of youtube vids explaining how to cut a kerf( the easy part) but it seems no one wants to share the secret to the planning behind it. [/QUOTE]
