Maximum Frame Size calculator
The Maximum Frame Size calculator, will do the sums for you. Not only will it calculate the maximum frame size that can be made from a given length of moulding, but it will also calculate the (theoretical) length of moulding required to make a frame of given dimensions.
Just enter the Moulding Length and Moulding width and the app will calculate the largest frame that can be made from that length.
