Dead On is the woodworking calculator that thinks like a woodworker.
FRACTION CALCULATOR
Mixed fractions are first-class. Type 5-3/4 + 2-1/8 and get an instant answer in fractions — chain math with parentheses, down to 1/32. No decimal conversion, ever.
VOICE INPUT
Hands full of sawdust? Tap the mic and say "five and three quarters plus two and an eighth." Dead On writes 5-3/4 + 2-1/8.
SHOP MODE
Step-by-step cut guidance in giant shop-floor type. It reads each step and listens for "next" — eyes on the blade, not the phone.

Select from 30 wood species and calculate seasonal dimensional change from USDA data. Know exactly how much your tabletop will move, and how much gap to leave.
