Sawdust Math’s Woodshop Calculator Bench
A free suite of 16 browser-based calculators and reference tools for woodworking, from shelf sag and lathe speed to board feet and crown molding.
Field notes
The calculators accept workshop variables such as species, span, thickness, load, blank diameter, moisture swing, screw gauge, or wheel size and return project-facing values rather than abstract formulas alone. Several tools add visual or manufacturing outputs: the cutting-board designer creates an exact cut list, the segmented-turning tool diagrams the ring geometry, and the board-foot calculator previews a board in 3D. The homepage names the Forest Products Laboratory Wood Handbook, AAW, and IRC Designer as source material.
