Hi Lablover

If you are using the CMT set you need to use the 7/16" rule , that's to say for ea. cut you are going to sub. +7/16"
Let's do a door ... 10" x 14" ,, better yet open the cat. you got from sommerfeld tools and in the from part of the book it will show you how to cut the parts to the cabinet door.
All the door parts are set on the 2 7/16" rule with the CMT sets.
That's to say all the parts are 2 7/16 " wide.

Some of the best videos I have come by are the ones that Marc Somnerfeld made and I would suggest b/4 you start cutting the Maple you get one or two of them they are that good and will save you big money in the long run.

BUT if you don't want to send off for the videos or you don't want to wait use the links below it will show you how -to - do -it plus a link for door software ,try it but don't buy it yet.
