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

Inner width (mm)

Required number input.

Inner depth (mm)

Required number input.

Inner height (mm)

Required number input.

Generate the bill of materials for a drawer from inner width, depth, and height. 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]

Front and back panels

The resulting front and back panels returned as an integer.

Side panels

The resulting side panels returned as an integer.

Bottom panels

The resulting bottom panels returned as an integer.

Total panel area (m²)

The resulting total panel area 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.

• Drawer Box Panel List Generator

  Compute the panel counts and total edge length for one drawer box from front width, box depth, and side height.

• Frame Door Bill of Materials Generator

  Generate the bill of materials for a frame-and-panel door from outer dimensions, stile width, and rail height.

• Carcase Bill of Materials Generator

  Generate the bill of materials for a rectangular box carcase from outer dimensions and panel thickness.
