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

Match type

Matching pattern: random, sliding (gestuerzt/geschoben), or mirrored.

Look up the typical usable yield percentage for a veneer matching pattern. 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]

Typical yield (%)

Typical yield share of the raw veneer that ends up usable, in percent.

• 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.

• Hinge Overlay Type Lookup

  Look up the typical door overlay in millimeters for a hinge mounting type.

• Riser Board Thickness Lookup

  Look up the typical riser board thickness for plywood, MDF, and solid wood materials.

• Clamex P Drilling Pattern

  Look up the P-System groove depth, 6 mm lever-access hole, and minimum butt-joint and miter material thicknesses for Clamex P-10 and P-14 connectors.
