Woodworking
Dado Depth Calculator
Find the ideal dado or groove depth for cabinet and shelf joints based on material thickness and load. Use it when routing dadoes so joints are strong without weakening the cabinet side.

Woodworking
Miter Angle Calculator
Compute the miter angle to cut on each end of a piece in a regular polygon frame so the joints meet flush. Useful for picture frames, hexagonal and octagonal projects, coopered cylinders, and any segmented work where pieces join at equal angles.
