Shaker Door Cut List Calculator

Calculate stile, rail, and floating-panel cut sizes for a five-piece rail-and-stile door.

Prefilled values are examples. Replace them with measurements and current costs for your project.

Inputs

Finished door and joinery dimensions

Range: at least 0 in

Range: at least 0 in

Range: at least 0 in

Range: at least 0 in

Range: at least 0 in

Enter zero for a joint with no projecting tenon. Otherwise use the actual tenon length that enters each stile.

Range: at least 0 in

This depth is added at both sides of each panel dimension. Match the groove used in the frame.

Range: at least 0 in

Enter the total amount removed across the panel width, not the amount per side. Choose it for the panel material and joinery.

Range: at least 0 in

Enter the total amount removed across panel height. It may differ from width clearance because wood movement differs by grain direction.

Range: at least 1

Enter a whole number; fractional counts are flagged.
