I'm not sure what \"tool depth of cut\" means. Is that the depth into the rail and stile the pattern is cut? Thanks for helping to learn. Great Idea. Need to do some raised panels and haven't done any in years. Saw this site and the calculator and that would ease my mind to know I have the correct specs. for my cut list.

There is a help icon next to each field you need to enter. The one for the 'depth of cut' has a diagram that should make it clear what the field is referencing.
