AUDIOADDICT02 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 ahhh I see.. Math my kriptonite.... lol Well i might try making one of these boxes in the future just gotta get a table saw and shitt. once again great work man keep it up! So whats the trick behind the Kerfed ports? Math!lol. Depth of cut, cut spacing, number of cuts, all depends on the box you're making....For this one I did 11 half-inch spaced cuts, 11/16th-deep cuts, gave a 3.25" radius for the kerf... lol. It used to be mine too, but I was really interested in getting my boxes right, so I just had to learn it!...You don't necessarily need a table saw, I did these kerfs with a handsaw & a clamped piece of wood, btw look at my tool colletion pic, the "table" everything is on, is my "home-made" table saw!lol...oh, & thanks!

C.Sanchez.A Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm in the processes of design a box with a kerfed port. How would I go about figureing out the length of the piece of wood I want to bend?

The holes in the slits are for the fiberglass resin to get inside the kerf, I filled in the kerf once i put the 45* in place...

How would I go about figureing out the length of the piece of wood I want to bend? The way I do it is I get a scrap piece do a "test kerf", measure the slits from where they start to where they end, then add that to the lengths of the two unkerfed pieces on sketchup....

So, basically make a test one until you find the right bend.

So, basically make a test one until you find the right bend. Well this is the way I do it: like in this case I did a test piece, came out to 11 cuts, half-inch spacing, 3.25" radius, 5 1/8 from first to last slit, so: after that, I measured the port wall/side & added in the 5 1/8".. So 16 1/8" + 17 1/8" + 5 1/8" = 38 3/8" piece & start kerf cut at 17 1/8"....hope I didn't confuse you..

I wanted some too, but he didn't have time to hook it up when he picked it up...BUT, I will be building another box for him, so he said he'll give me a demo then!
