FAS (or Prime)
An FAS board must be at least 6 ” wide and 8′ long. 83 1/3% of the board must be clear. To determine cutting units the maximum number of imaginary cuts is one-quarter of the board measure. For example, a 6″ x 8′ board is 4 board measure. The board can be cut only once, 1/4th of 4. After this single imaginary cut the board must be 83 1/3% clear. The area of each imaginary cut must leave at least 4″ x 5′ or 3″ x 7′ sections. If a board is 8 board measure then two cuts are allowed, yielding 83 1/3% clear, each cut at least 4″ x 5′ or 3″ x 7′.
If a single cut in a 6″ x 8′ board does not yield an FAS grade there are additional rules. One additional cut is allowed in boards between 6 and 15 board measure if the resulting clear portion of the board is 91 2/3%. The reverse face of a board must also be FAS for the entire board to be graded as FAS.
Select
A select board is graded exactly like FAS. The only difference is that the minimum size of a Select board is 4 ” x 6′ (whereas an FAS board must be at least 6″ x 8′). The reverse face of a Select board can be either Select or #1 Common.
#1 Common
A #1 Common board must be at least 3 ” wide and 4′ long. 66 2/3% of the board must be clear. The maximum number of imaginary cuts is one-third of the board measure plus one. Surface area after each imaginary cut must be at least 4″ x 2′ or 3″ x 3′. For example, a board 6″ x 8′ is 4 board measure. One third of 4 + 1 is 1. If a single imaginary cut in the board yields 66 2/3% clear where the uncut area is at least 4″ x 2′ or 3″ x 3′, the board is graded as #1 Common.
An additional cut in the board is allowed if the resulting clear yield is at least 75%. This applies to boards between 3 and 10 board measure. The reverse face of a #1 Common board is always #1 Common.
#2 Common
A #2 Common board must be at least 3 ” wide and 4′ long, just like #1 Common. The clear yield of a board can be as low as 50% after cuts equal to half of the board measure. Surface area after each imaginary cut must be at least 3″ x 2′. For example, a board 6″ x 8 is 4 board measure and can be cut twice, half of four. The resulting clear area of the board must be at least 3″ x 2′ and at least 50% clear.
An additional cut is allowed in boards between 2 and 7 board measure if the yield is 66 2/3% clear. The reverse face of a #2 Common board can be #2 Common or better. If the reverse face of a board is #3 Common then the entire board becomes #3 Common.
