Question 1047529
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You missed it by THAT much.  If you are going to allow 1/8" waste for each bolt, then you must ADD 1/8" to the 2 5/8" required for the bolt to get the amount of metal consumed each time you cut off enough for one bolt.


So


8 1/4' = 99" 

2 5/8" <u>+ 1/8" = 2 3/4" = 2.75" 

99 / 2.75 = 36 </u>
