- Openings
- 2
| Part | Qty | Length (mm) | Width (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outer stile | 2 | 700 | 50 |
| Top rail | 1 | 700 | 50 |
| Bottom rail | 1 | 700 | 50 |
| Center stile | 1 | 600 | 40 |
The quote handoff carries your inputs and assumptions. Only an explicit base cost is suggested as a quote cost; prices, rates and measurements remain planning notes.
Choose the tool and check the setup
Understand the cutting profile, material reference and equipment limits before applying the result.
Method & assumptions
Rail length = outside width − 2 × stile width. Opening height = outside height − top rail − bottom rail. A center stile fits between rails; two equal openings share the remaining width.
- Butt-jointed frame geometry with full-height outside stiles. Add joinery lengths separately if using tenons.
- No intermediate rails, overlays or door clearances are included. Measure the cabinet and hardware before fabrication.
Work through the face frame example
| Input or step | Example value |
|---|---|
| Example inputs | 800 × 700 mm frame; 50 mm stiles and rails; 40 mm center stile |
| Rail length | 700 mm |
| Opening height | 600 mm |
| Opening width | 330 mm |
| Openings | 2 |
These values match Load example. They illustrate the method, not recommended material, machine or pricing settings. Read the assumptions before using the result.
Common questions
Are the example settings a recommendation?
No. Replace the example with measured dimensions, actual costs and your product or machine manufacturer's limits.
What if an input is incomplete or impossible?
The result is hidden and a field or calculation error explains what needs correction.
Use this in your project
Continue with the next measurement or cost, then keep the assumptions with your quote.
