This calculator easily calculates board feet for lumber estimation problems. The default entry format
for Board Feet is “Inch x Inch x Feet” (e.g., 2 x 4 x 14 is 2 Inches x 4 Inches x 14 Feet). You can also
convert Cubic values (volume) to Board Feet.
Remember to press to clear entries in between problems.

If the boards cost $300 per MBM., what is the total cost? Use (cost) to gure total lumber cost.
Note: Unit cost is entered in the standard per thousand board foot measure (MBM) format.
