Shelf carcass panel cut list
List rectangular panels for a simple between-side shelf cabinet.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Assumes full-height side panels, with top/bottom and internal shelves fitted between the sides. Between-side width subtracts two panel thicknesses. Lists panel quantity and cut dimensions; no back panel, grooves, kerf, edging or joinery allowances. This is a dimensional worksheet and does not establish structural strength or shelf load capacity.
