Appendix C
Dimensional Lumber
When you are setting up each grade or species
of lumber, the first six digits of the item
number are the same. The first 2 are the
group, the next 2 are the section, and the next
2 are the width. The last 2 digits specify the
length. Then random length item (type 2) has
“00” for the length. For example: Group 51
(lumber), section 05 (hem fir), width 4”.

bits or screwdrivers starting with low
