Plan your next project with a few simple measurements. Start in millimetres, allow for the blade, and make the most of your timber.
Board feet
Estimate timber volume in board feet, with metric dimensions by default.
Measurement converter
Convert decimal measurements between metric and imperial units.
Cutting & materials
Estimate stock lengths for repeated pieces of the same length and cross-section.
How these estimates work
Volume = length × width × thickness × quantity. Board feet = cubic inches ÷ 144. Dimensions change units without changing the physical size.
The cutting estimate uses one repeated piece length from identical stock lengths. It reserves a full blade kerf for each separated piece; no final kerf is charged when the last piece ends exactly at the stock end. It cuts only the target quantity, including extra pieces. Remaining timber excludes trim and kerf and may be split across several offcuts. This is a length estimate, not a sheet nesting or mixed cut-list optimiser.
Allow separately for knots, splits, grain selection, machining and supplier tolerances. Price excludes any additional charges. Display values are rounded; tiny non-zero measurements use scientific notation.
