"one for 2 1/8X 1/8 stringers at the chine and one with 1/4" sq stock at the chine. The SS at the end of the file signifies the single chine stringer. Both use the same building board. Note that the building board is cut for 1/8" lite ply which actually runs about .110" thick."

"Also note that these files do not have "holds" added and are not optimized for cutting. ie I did not make all the line segments poly lines. These should make no difference as long as you are not cutting a lot of sets. The poly lines make about 1 min difference in cutting all 3 sheets."

Most laser plotters used to cut materials require DFX files

DXF files are CAD vector data - plotter files that instruct a device to "start here" then put the (pen, knife) down and "move to, go to"...

Here are the laser cut shadows laid out on 8.5X11 sheets. These can be used for scratch building. I have included both the single stringer and dual stringer versions. If you use them please make sure and turn off the scale to fit function in acrobat. IF you dont they will print at 94% of correct size.
