In trials

Cutting lists thatcome out asmachine files.

Kerf takes the list a carpenter already writes and turns it into something a beam saw executes. Nobody at the machine retypes a measurement.

The angle you drag on screenis the angle that comes off the saw.

The gap

Somebody isretyping numbers.

Between the drawing and the saw there is almost always a person with a list and a keyboard. It is slow, and every mistake is a piece of timber.

Kerf removes that person from the loop and leaves them doing something better.

Every board was a decision upstream
Formats

Three formats,one of them undocumented.

We would rather publish the awkward detail than let somebody find it on a Friday afternoon. Hundegger BVX has no public specification, so we calibrated one against real production work.

12Real production files in the corpus
879Parts checked on every release
9,100Machine operations, roughly
BTLx 2.0.0

Written and checked against the official schema before the file leaves.

Hundegger BVX

No public specification exists. We calibrated against the corpus above, and every release is checked against it.

Hundegger BVN

Supported, same discipline, same corpus.

Three jobs, start to finish

What it isactually used for.

Illustrative jobs, not case studies.

01Sixty rafters

Drawn once, angled once, cut sixty times. The list and the machine file stay in step because they are the same thing.

02A job that arrives as a file

The workshop opens it, checks it and runs it. No phone call about what kopmaat means.

03A wall moves on Friday

The drawing changes, the parts change, and the saw gets a new file rather than a new argument.

Start here

Trials are open to workshops,not to everyone.

If you run a beam saw and you are tired of the retyping, tell us which machine and we will tell you honestly whether Kerf is ready for it.
