CabinetCRUNCHER offers a wide range of options for installing cabinet bases, providing flexibility to suit various needs. Both Face Frame and Frameless cabinet styles support the following base configurations:
No Base
Attached Pedestal Base
Detached Pedestal Base
Adjustable Legs

The cabinet rests on the side panels which extend below the bottom panel 4-5 inches to accommodate the height of a toe-kick in the front of the cabinet. This method is best for free-standing cabinets or bookcases. This method typically results in more plywood waste. For example, if you build a cabinet 36 inches tall, you would only be able to get two 36 inch side panels on each strip of standard sized plywood. But if you install the cabinet using a pedestal base or ladder base, then you could get three side panels on each ripped length of plywood because the side panels would normally be less than 32 inches high. A kick plate can be added at any specified height and depth.

A pedestal base is a separate assembly that is mounted under the bottom panel of the cabinet. The pedestal base can be sized for toe-kick clearance on the front, sides and/or back of the cabinet.

Dado Back Panel
Rabbet Back Panel

A ladder base is similar to a pedestal base except it is typically built in the field and is designed to accommodate several cabinets. This method is best for installing kitchen cabinets. The cabinet installation is very easy once the ladder base is level and secured to the floor.

Adjustable legs, fixed length legs or casters may be used for cabinets that require mobility or height adjustment during installation.

Both versions include our industry-leading cabinet construction calculators and generate exacting cut lists and material requirements. The Professional version includes integrated project costing, labor tracking, and customer estimation tools, making it the ideal choice for businesses. The Artisan version includes all the same construction logic but excludes the financial estimation features.
Not at all. While CabinetCRUNCHER is powered by the Microsoft Excel engine, it operates as a dedicated Windows application (.exe) with an intuitive user interface. If you can enter dimensions into a box, you can generate a professional cut list. We’ve done the complex "math" in the background so you don't have to.
Absolutely. While our software is powerful enough for professional shops, it was designed to be accessible for anyone who wants to build high-quality cabinetry. In fact, DIYers often find the software even more valuable because it eliminates the "math anxiety" that comes with planning a project.
By providing exacting cut lists and material requirements upfront, CabinetCRUNCHER helps you:
CabinetCRUNCHER is a Windows-based application that requires the Windows version of Microsoft Excel. However, many of our users successfully run the software on Mac computers using virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Boot Camp.
CabinetCRUNCHER includes CabinetVIEW, a library of over 2,000 SketchUp models. While the software does not "auto-sync" live changes between the spreadsheet and the 3D model, they are designed to be complementary. You use CabinetVIEW to visualize the room layout and design with your client, then use CabinetCRUNCHER to "crunch" the exacting cutlists and material requirements needed for construction.
Yes. CabinetCRUNCHER supports both Fractional (inches) and Metric (mm) formats. You can choose your preferred measurement system when you set up your project standards.
Yes, CabinetCRUNCHER is an excellent choice for small professional cabinet shops. While large production facilities often invest in expensive, high-end CNC software (like Cabinet Vision), small professionals often find that those programs are "overpowered" and too costly for their needs.
Here is why it specifically benefits a small professional business:
1. High ROI (Return on Investment)
Small shops need to keep overhead low. Unlike subscription-based software that costs thousands per year, CabinetCRUNCHER is a one-time investment. Many professionals report that the software pays for itself on the very first job simply by eliminating material waste and saving hours of manual "office work" prep.
2. Professional-Grade Estimation
The Professional Version is built specifically for business owners. It includes:
3. Adaptability to Your Shop Standards
Most small pros have a "signature" way of building. Unlike rigid software that forces you to build a certain way, CabinetCRUNCHER allows you to set your own construction standards, and the software will "crunch" every cabinet to match your style.
4. Scalability for "Batching"
Even a small shop can handle a large multi-room kitchen if they are organized. You can input an entire project (20+ cabinets) and generate a consolidated cutlist. This allows you to "batch" your cutting—cutting all your gables at once, all your bottoms at once, etc.—which is a massive efficiency boost for a one or two-person shop.
Pro-Tip for Small Businesses:
If you are running a shop, we suggest the Professional Series. Having both the Face Frame and Frameless versions ensures you never have to turn down a client because of their preferred design style.
Building a set of kitchen cabinets is a major project, but it is much more achievable than most people think. The "difficulty" of a kitchen isn't usually the woodworking—it’s the math and learning curve
How CabinetCRUNCHER Makes it "Easy"
Our software acts as your Master Engineer. It takes the most stressful part of the project—the planning and calculations—and automates it.
The Bottom Line
With a table saw, a pocket-hole jig, and CabinetCRUNCHER, building a professional-quality kitchen is well within the reach of a determined DIYer or a small shop owner. We provide the "brain" so you can focus on the "build."
