How does this tool account for steel stretching?

The tool uses `get_bend_deduction` to calculate the length lost due to material stretch during the bending process, ensuring the final dimensions are correct.

What hook types are supported?

It supports standard and seismic hooks, such as 90_DEGREE and 135_DEGREE, via the `get_hook_length` tool.

Can I calculate the total length in one step?

Yes, use the `calculate_total_cut_length` tool to get the total cut length, bend deduction, hook length, and allowance in a single response.

This MCP server provides precision tools for rebar fabrication. It accounts for material stretch during bending by calculating bend deductions and bend allowances. Use calculate_total_cut_length to determine the exact raw stock length needed, or use get_bend_deduction and get_hook_length for individual component calculations. It ensures structural accuracy for reinforcement steel.
