Who made this
Built by the WorkshopCalc team, the people behind the free board-feet, dust collection, layout, electrical and finishing calculators on this site, from machine makers' manuals, finish and glue labels, and published dust-collection and electrical references. Researched, not hands-on testing of every product and not professional advice.
Not professional advice. Follow each machine's manual and use its guards, and have a licensed electrician do the wiring.

Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, three spreadsheets that open in Google Sheets, Excel or Numbers, and the original toolkit files. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Does it work on my phone or in the shop?
Yes. The PDF reads on any phone or tablet, and the spreadsheets open in the free Google Sheets app, so the cut list and maintenance schedule come to the lumberyard and the shop with you. Print the sheets you want on the wall or the bench.
I already have the free calculators. What does this add?
The calculators give you one number at a time. The kit is where those numbers live together: the shop layout, the dust run, the circuit plan, each project's cut list and finish, and the upkeep log, so nothing is worked out twice.
I bought the Master Toolkit before. Do I get this?
Yes. Your old download page now takes you to the new one, with the original Master Planner workbook and PDFs still included. If you cannot find it, use the contact form with the email you paid with.
Is the electrical sheet a wiring guide?
No. It is a plan for which machine goes on which circuit, so you can talk to an electrician with your numbers ready. A licensed electrician does the wiring and pulls the permit.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
