Exact Spacing spaces bars at exactly entered centers.
Calculated from either end towards the middle, with middle space adjusted smaller to fit.
Resulting smaller middle space marked red in diagram.
?
Equal Spacing adjusts all spaces to fit total length and width evenly, at nearest under or equal to entered spacing.

Calculate Rebar Quantity From Total Slab Area and Perimeter

To calculate Total Area of a multi sided slab, first divide the shape into rectangles or squares. (as in example diagram)
Multiply the 2 different side lengths of each rectangle to find individual areas, then add them together to find Total Slab Area.
Add all (outside) side lengths to find the total Slab Perimeter.
Or enter side lengths to draw the shape with the Concrete and Rebar calculator to auto calculate Concrete Volume and Rebar.

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!
