Machine Made Netting

Cutting and Shaping Netting

1. The number of meshes at the start of the cut.

2. The number of meshes required at the end of the

cut.

3. The length or depth in meshes of the section to be

cut.

Common Cutting Rates & Taper Ratios

Cuts: Netting Example

Body Tapers

Guidelines and Formula1. You can only cut or calculate a cut by evaluating

one side of the intended shape or piece of netting .

2. Always establish which way your E values are

oriented.

3. The body taper is only used if the material to be

cut is less than the depth of the netting.

Calculating the Cut

1. For calculation purposes – when applying the cut

formula, always assume the bottom of the netting

piece is represented by the larger mesh count.

2. When using the cut formula - if only one side of

the netting piece will be cut, do not divide by 2.

Cut =Bottom - Top

Jib Tapers

Guidelines and Formula1. You can only cut or calculate a cut by evaluating

one side of the intended shape or piece of netting .

2. Always establish which way your E values are

oriented.

3. The jib taper is only used if the material to be

cut is greater than the depth of the netting.

4. Length replaces the cut on jib tapers.

Guidelines and Formula1. You can only cut or calculate a cut by evaluating

2. Always establish which way your E values are

oriented.

3. If the “cut” or “length” is equal to the depth of

the netting – you would have an all bar (AB)

taper.

4. If statement #3 is true there are no calculations

necessary.

Keys to Finding and/or Proving the Taper:

• You can only cut and/or calculate a cut by evaluating one side of the intended

shape or piece of netting at a time.

• An All Bar (AB) taper will yield a 45 degree angle, which means the “Cut” is

equal to the “Depth” of the netting.
