24-Inch Wall Cabinet Cut List and Plywood Layout
This 24-inch-wide wall-cabinet example isolates the six 3/4-inch plywood carcass parts: two sides, a top, a bottom, and two adjustable shelves. The separate back and hanging method are deliberately excluded because their thickness and joinery change from shop to shop.

The solver places every listed rectangle on one 48 × 96 sheet at 36.2% finished-part yield. That makes this a useful companion for another same-thickness project, but only after the second project is entered into the same optimization run.

24-inch wall cabinet cut list
The top and bottom span the 22 1/2-inch opening. The shelf is 22 3/8 inches across and 10 7/8 inches deep to provide modest clearance.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W24-SIDE | Wall-cabinet side | 11 1/4 in | 30 in | 2 | Grain locked with cabinet height |

Separate the box from the mounting system.
The captured top and bottom use 24 − (2 × 3/4) = 22 1/2 inches. The side depth is 11 1/4 inches in this sample, so it should not be silently substituted into a drawing that calls for a nominal 12-inch finished depth.
A full back in a rabbet, a planted-on back, and hanging rails all alter dimensions and load paths differently. Decide that system first and add its parts as a separate material group if it uses a different thickness.

- Specify the back thickness and whether it sits in rabbets.
- Choose and engineer the hanging method for the wall and load.
- Confirm finished depth, door overlay, and face-frame choice.
- Keep thinner back material in a separate optimizer run.
