What happens here

After both the overcut and clean-cut wood samples have been tested to failure, the presenter holds up both broken pieces side-by-side for comparison. He states that both pieces, regardless of whether they had an overcut or a clean cut, failed at approximately 2000 pounds of pressure. This suggests that, in the context of this specific test, overcutting did not significantly reduce the structural integrity of the wood for applications like rafters and stairs. He then invites viewers to share their opinions on the matter.

Goal: Compare the failure points of both samples and draw a conclusion on the impact of overcuts.

What they say

Hide

Testing some framing. We got overcut and not overcut. The square cut and the overcut failed at about 2,000 lbs. You don't think it matters for rafters and stairs if you overcut, but let me know what you think.
