Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

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.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

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.
