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

Cabinet Front Millimeters (mm)

Required number input.

Plinth Front Millimeters (mm)

Required number input.

Toe-kick recess from cabinet front plane to plinth front plane, both measured from the same rear datum. 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]

Recess Millimeters (mm)

The resulting recess millimeters returned as a number.

• 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.

• Sockelfuss Anzahl

  Minimum number of plinth feet for two straight front and rear rows under a cabinet, using a chosen maximum spacing; excludes load-rating checks.

• Arbeitsplatten Ueberstand

  Countertop front overhang beyond cabinet depth after subtracting an optional rear backsplash or wall allowance.

• Auszugsschienen Laenge

  Longest drawer-slide length that fits a measured cabinet interior depth after reserving a specified rear clearance; choose an available product size no longer than this result.
