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

Cabinet Length Millimeters (mm)

Required number input.

Max Spacing Millimeters (mm)

Required number input.

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

Foot Count

The resulting foot count returned as an integer.

• 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.

• Sockel Ruecksprung

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

• Tuerbaender Anzahl Nach Gewicht

  Mass-only arithmetic lower bound from door mass and a per-hinge rating for the same installation. It is not a safe hinge specification: door width, hinge spacing, and load distribution must be checked separately.

• Arbeitsplatten Ueberstand

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