Free maker tool
A small bed stops being the limit on what you can sell the moment the seams mate properly.

Part of the Maker Toolkit: fourteen tools that share one shop profile and one product list, so what you set up here is already known everywhere else.
Maker Toolkit v1.0 · August 2026
How it works
It cuts an oversized panel into interlocking pieces sized for your machine, then lays them out on bed-sized sheets. Kerf is built into the joints, so the tabs press together instead of rattling.
Why it is built this way
Questions
Split it into panels that fit, and join them. The difficulty is never the splitting, it is making the seams mate after the beam has taken material from both faces. This tool generates both halves of every seam from one shared profile so they are guaranteed to be complements.
Applied to the geometry rather than by translating the line. The tab grows and the socket shrinks, each by half the kerf. Nudging the whole line cannot do that and leaves joints that are sloppy in one direction and tight in the other. Set your kerf, usually 0.006 to 0.012 in, and test one seam on scrap first.
Finger joints for a mechanical fit, and plain butt seams where you would rather glue and clamp. Finger joints hold themselves together while the glue sets, which on a large panel is the difference between a two-hand job and a four-hand one.

These are not a list of everything. They are the tools this one hands off to, and they already know what you did here.
Free, and staying free
Ten of the fourteen tools are free for good. If you want the generators that design the product, and the planner that tells you whether the batch fits your week, that is what the Hub is for.
