For the workshop, not the classroom

Your phone’s calculator doesn’t know what a dovetail is. This one does.

Thirteen calculators built for real woodworkers. Fractions, joinery, wood movement — no decimal conversions, no subscription, no internet required.

Thirteen calculators. One app.

Built around the problems you actually hit at the bench.

Every screen is a tool. Type mixed fractions the way your tape reads them. Visualize the joint before you cut it.

Miter Angles

Six sides? Octagon? Set the polygon, get the cut.

Dial in the number of sides, see the miter angle and bevel instantly. Dead On draws the polygon so you can eyeball the result before committing it to stock.

  • Any regular polygon, 3 to 24 sides
  • Compound miter for sloped staves
  • Animated diagrams with dimension overlays

Board Feet

Know the lumber bill before you load the truck.

Stack boards, get a running total with cost. Perfect for a yard run when the sawyer’s waiting and you’re doing math on a scrap of cardboard.

Mortise & Tenon

Joinery math with the joint drawn in front of you.

Enter stock thickness. Dead On works out the tenon proportions using the one‑third rule — and renders the mortise so you know what you’re chopping.

Wood Movement

Account for the season before the season ruins the joint.

Thirty species with real tangential and radial movement data. Tell Dead On where the piece will live — summer humid, winter dry — and it tells you how far a tabletop will move.

  • 30 species, verified shrinkage coefficients
  • Summer and winter EMC presets by region
  • Flatsawn, quartersawn, and riftsawn grain orientations

Browse all 30 species →
