Use this workshop calculation to turn measured dimensions and the selected construction convention into a cut, spacing, fit, or material-planning value.

Anchor size

Metric anchor size: m6 (200 kg), m8 (400 kg), m10 (700 kg), or m12 (1000 kg).

Look up the rated pull-out load in kilograms for a metric anchor size. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Rated pull (kg)

Rated pull-out load in kilograms.

• Nominal dimensions, kerf, moisture movement, hardware clearances, wall squareness, and manufacturer instructions can change the required shop dimension. Measure the actual assembly and test critical joints on scrap before cutting finished material.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Complement the calculated dimension with a physical story stick, dry fit, or full-size layout. Follow the hardware, coating, adhesive, or machine manufacturer's limits where they differ from a rule of thumb.

• Drawer Load Class Lookup

  Look up the rated load in kilograms for a drawer runner load class.

• DIN 68901 Carcase Height Lookup

  Look up the nominal DIN 68901 kitchen carcase height for low, base, and tall size classes.

• Domino Size Lookup

  Look up the tenon thickness and length of a Festool Domino size.
