Cabinet Cut List Maker knows that if one or both of your end panels are exposed, there will be a rabbet from the bottom of the cabinet to the top, on the wall facing inside edge of the panel. This is to receive the cabinet back, and the rear mounting strips. Without this rabbet the strips and the back would be exposed. The program calculates this rabbet as being 1/2 the thickness of the end panel, whose thickness is entered at the beginning of the program. If one or both end panels are exposed, the cabinet back, and top and rear mounting strips, will be shorter.
Cabinet Cut List Maker also allows the cabinet maker to choose how far the face frame end stile will overhang the exposed end panel, or whether it will be flush. A reveal makes assembling the cabinet considerably easier, since with the end panel and face frame flush, it has to be perfect. The same section of the program that determines this reveal, also allows the cabinet maker the flexibility to move the end panels, or panel inwards, so as to flush the inside edge of the end panel up with the inside edge of the end stile. This would come in handy if there were a drawer, or bank of drawers at that location, providing a flush surface to mount the drawer glides.
