Chapter 6, Problem 15A

Four studs of the following lengths in inches are to be machined from bar stock: $1\frac{3\text{'}\text{'}}{4},1\frac{7\text{'}\text{'}}{8},2\frac{5\text{'}\text{'}}{16}$ and $1\frac{11\text{'}\text{'}}{32}$ . Allow $\frac{1}{8}$inch waste for each cut and $\frac{1}{32}$inch on each end of each stud for facing. What is the shortest length of bar stock required so that only three cuts are needed?
