For a frameless cabinet box. Enter the outside width, height and depth and the panel thickness. Get the cut list: sides, top and bottom, shelves and back, with sizes in inch fractions or millimetres and the grain direction. Then send the parts straight to the sheet layout.

What this assumes

This page is for frameless box carcasses, the European style where the sides are full height and the top and bottom fit between them. It does not do face frames, toe kicks, doors, drawers, or stretchers in place of a full top. Those parts depend on your hardware and style, so size them from your own build.

Part	Width, along the grain	Height, across the grain
Side (2)	Outside height	Depth
Top and bottom (2)	Width minus two panel thicknesses	Depth
Fixed shelf	Width minus two panel thicknesses	Depth minus the back thickness
Adjustable shelf	Fixed shelf width minus 1/16" (1.5 mm)	Fixed shelf depth minus 1/4" (6 mm)
Back, inset	Height minus one panel thickness	Width minus one panel thickness
Back, applied	Outside height	Outside width

With an inset back, the sides, top and bottom get a rabbet the width of the back and half the panel thickness deep, and the back sits in it flush with the rear edge. That is why the back is one panel thickness smaller each way: it reaches half a thickness into the rabbet on each side. Depth then counts the back, and the sides keep the full depth.
With an applied back, the depth you enter is the finished depth with the back on. The sides, top and bottom are cut shallower by the back thickness, and the back covers the full width and height.
Sides and back run their grain up the height. Top, bottom and shelves run it across the width. Every row is sent with the grain locked so the layout keeps it that way.
Sizes are rounded to the nearest 1/32" or 0.1 mm for display, and the rounded value is what gets passed on.

Check the first box with a test fit before you cut the whole job. Your hardware, joinery and panel thickness set the real sizes, and this page cannot see them.

Questions

Why is my back the wrong size?

It depends on how it mounts. An inset back sits in a rabbet and is one panel thickness smaller than the outside width and height. An applied back is the full outside size. Pick the option that matches your build in the Back field.

Do I enter the thickness it says on the sheet or the one I measure?

Measure it. Sheet goods sold as 3/4" are often a little thinner, and the width of every shelf and top changes by twice the difference.

What does the button do?

It opens the Notchwork cut list optimizer with these parts already filled in, in the same units, and lays them out on sheets. The parts travel in the page address inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I build a whole kitchen?

Run one box at a time and import each list. The optimizer replaces its list on import, so lay out the biggest job first or add the extra rows by hand. For a full kitchen of cabinets with doors and drawers, a design program is a better tool.
