Cove Cutting Calculator

Safety warning: this is a cove-cutting profile calculator only - it does not tell you how to make a cove cut. Cove cutting can be very dangerous and has unique clamping, multi-fence and blade-raising steps. Do your own research to determine a safe process for your job.

Work out where a cove will land on your timber before you cut it. Enter the blade, the depth of cut, the fence angle and the blade tilt; the calculator draws the cross section, the top view setup and gives the fence setting measured from the fence.
