Canvas stretcher cut list calculator

Calculate miter long-point cuts [length mm,quantity] and miter short-point cuts [length mm,quantity] with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use miter long-point cuts [length mm,quantity] and miter short-point cuts [length mm,quantity] to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Miter long-point cuts [length mm,quantity]

J([[a,2],[b,2]])

Miter short-point cuts [length mm,quantity]

J([[a-2*c,2],[b-2*c,2]])

Canvas blank dimensions (mm)

J([a+2*d,b+2*d])

Total bar cut length (mm)

2*(a+b)

Symbols and units
a
Finished canvas width (mm)
b
Finished canvas height (mm)
c
Bar face width (mm)
d
Supplied canvas wrap/fastening allowance each edge (mm)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Rectangular 45° mitered stretcher only; finished exterior dimensions exceed twice bar width. Joint allowances and wrap requirements supplied, no structural stretching advice. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
