Welcome to WoodFormulas (woodformulas.com). By accessing our website, testing interactive calculators, or saving fabrication specification sheets, you agree to comply with the terms and operating principles outlined below. Please review these terms carefully before utilizing our tools in your workshop.

1. Acceptance of Terms & Scope of Utilities

WoodFormulas provides interactive client-side web calculators designed to assist woodworkers, carpenters, contractors, and furniture builders with dimensional planning, joint layout, material volume estimates, and tool adjustments.

Your ongoing use of this site signifies your complete agreement to these terms. If you disagree with any segment of this agreement, you must discontinue using our utilities and educational documentation immediately.

2. Workshop Safety & Engineering Disclaimer

All mathematical output, cut diagrams, feed rate estimates, and load projections provided by WoodFormulas are intended strictly for educational and general workshop guidance:

• Physical Verification Required: Wood is an organic material with natural grain variations, knot inclusions, and species-dependent density swings. Always physically check critical dimensions with dial calipers or tape measures before making non-reversible cuts.
• Structural Responsibility: You are solely responsible for verifying that your load-bearing assemblies (such as heavy shelving, architectural stair stringers, or framing headers) comply with local building codes (IRC/IBC) and meet professional structural engineering criteria.
• Machinery Safety: When operating power equipment (table saws, bandsaws, shapers, and CNC routers), always follow manufacturer safety guidelines, use push sticks, wear eye and ear protection, and maintain proper dust collection. Never operate equipment outside safe parameters based purely on automated calculator numbers.

WoodFormulas and its creators accept no legal liability for lost materials, cut errors, personal injury, property damage, or structural failures resulting from the use of calculations provided on this website.
