Cabinet parts

What is Cabinet Carcass?

A cabinet carcass is the main box of a cabinet before doors, drawers, face frames, trim, and hardware are added.

Why Cabinet Carcass matters

Cabinet part names keep the cut list readable and prevent identical-looking panels from being mixed up at assembly. For builders using WoodCutTool, the practical point is simple: define the term before the material is cut so the plan, calculator result, and shop work all describe the same thing.

How to use it in a project

Name each part in the cut list, mark visible faces, and keep related cabinet pieces grouped in the layout before export or printing. When the project has many parts or expensive material, move from a rough note to a real cut list calculator, plywood cut calculator, or saved CutList layout before buying or cutting stock.

Use the glossary to clarify the language, then use WoodCutTool calculators to test the actual numbers.
