Draw a picture, makes it easier to visualize.

Yea i usually just figure out the cuts once I'm out there but just trying to get myself a cut sheet so I can cut it quick. I see the first piece now but the second seems short? Lol could you explain?

[OrionStang]

baffle 1.5"+ port piece 15.75"+ turn the port corner 3"+ thickness of first port .75"+ 13" = 34" port

Remember, you measure down the middle of the port.

Didn't look at the measurements, but it might seem short cause te actual length of the port is going to be shorter than the number you entered into the calc. If you look at the boxes on the right there is one that says "physical port length" and it's a shorter length than the number you put into the calc under port dimensions. That might be where the confusion is.

I ignore the physical port length on the calculator. Paper and pencil and numbers in my head is the most accurate way.

[Hunters21w]

So I cut it to the physical port length instead of the actual I typed in?

I ignore the physical port length on the calculator. Paper and pencil and numbers in my head is the most accurate way.

I thought the Physical port length is the actual length down the center of the port? Isn't it because a slot port needs to be calculated for end correction or something like that? And the Torres calc does that automatically. I could be wrong but that's how I understood it in another thread I read a while back.

[OrionStang]

That number is the total length of the actual cut pieces, minus the baffle, turning the corner, and doesn't take into consideration the .75" thickness of port piece one.

I mean, if my math is wrong OP, please correct me.

Ahh gotcha makes sense now.
