About WoodCutTool

Who creates the site

The WoodCutTool Editorial Team maintains the website and the workflows it documents. The same product family includes browser calculators and focused iPhone apps for saved planning tasks. Editorial pages are published under the team name because they combine product documentation, calculator behavior, structured templates, and repeatable review steps rather than a single person's opinion.

Questions, corrections, and source suggestions can be sent to [email protected].

Why we publish these pages

The goal is to help a reader leave with a usable next step: a checked parts list, a realistic sheet count, a clearer comparison, or a short list of measurements to confirm. Pages should connect the explanation to a working calculator, template, reference table, or app workflow when that helps the reader complete the task.

How guides and templates are prepared

1. Start from the decision. We identify what the reader must measure, compare, calculate, or verify.
2. Match the working tool. Inputs, units, kerf, quantities, material groups, and outputs are checked against the calculator or app workflow described on the page.
3. Show assumptions. Templates explain which dimensions are examples and which details — such as hardware clearance, joinery, moisture, load, code, or site conditions — must be confirmed locally.
4. Add practical review gates. Guides include checks for missing parts, unsafe cut sequences, grain direction, waste, source quality, or export boundaries where relevant.
5. Link supporting context. Related calculators, guides, comparisons, and source references are linked with descriptive labels so readers can follow the workflow without guessing.

Automation and human review

WoodCutTool uses code-based generators to keep navigation, metadata, structured data, tables, and repeated page layouts consistent across a large static site. Automation is useful for consistency; it is not evidence that a measurement or recommendation is correct. The underlying page patterns, inputs, caveats, and links are reviewed as part of the publishing workflow, and important project values still need to be checked by the person doing the work.

Reference values and limitations

Wood density, weight, hardness, prices, waste allowances, building dimensions, and code examples can vary by species, grade, moisture, supplier, location, and code edition. Treat reference values as planning ranges. Measure the actual material, follow manufacturer instructions, and confirm structural or code-sensitive decisions with the applicable local authority or qualified professional.

Calculators and templates support planning; they do not replace engineering, code review, medical advice, legal advice, tax advice, or job-site judgment. See the site disclaimer for the full limitation.

Corrections and updates

When a calculation, link, description, or reference range appears wrong or unclear, send the page URL, the value in question, and a supporting source if available. Corrections are prioritized when they affect safety, purchasing decisions, cut dimensions, or the behavior of a working tool.
