The hardware, bins and bits our gadgets are built around — with the measurement each default actually came from, so you can check yours before you buy.
The one part every pullout needs, in pairs, every time. All three gadgets are built around Blum TANDEM undermounts and their hook-bore pattern.
The default runner. 12 mm sides, 6 mm hook bores. All Blum numbers in the gadgets are settled off INST-TDM563H-563.05.15.

The loaded-drawer option. Same bore pattern as the 563H, so nothing in the gadget changes if you switch.

Bays, cup shelf and knife block.
5" body, 5 1/4" rim, 6 7/8" deep. The rim is what carries the cup, so the rim measurement is the one that has to match — the body can vary.
Tins / cups on AmazonFor the knife block.
Buy several sets at once — these ship from China and the lead time is long enough to stall a job.
Knife rods on AmazonSized to your cans and your opening.
35 quart is the size to search for, and as far as I can find it is the only size these come in — so this is hard to get wrong. It measures 14 3/8" × 10 1/2" at the rim, 17 7/8" tall, which is what the apertures are cut to. Measure the rim rather than the base if you are checking a can you already own — most of them taper. TrashFORGE builds around whatever you type, so a different can is a measurement, not a problem.
Waste bin on AmazonAdjustable shelves, so the only bought part besides slides is the pin.
5 mm pin, 9 mm shank. Measure yours — shelf pins vary more than they have any right to, and the bore is drilled to whatever you enter.

Three tools cut the entire free tier — square edge, square inset frame, flat panel. That is a Shaker door, start to finish. Everything below that is a profile you chose, and the gadget names the bit on the card before you commit to anything.
Roughs the panel field. The default field clear, and the heaviest-working tool in the library.
1 1/4" surfacer on Amazon
Amana 46225-K Spektra 1/8" down-cut — the workhorse. Follows the
surfacer to finish every pocket with sharp corners, and cuts kerf grooves and
tight quirks.
Amana 46170-K 1/4" compression — perimeter cutout, clean edges
top and bottom.
Ball nose 1/2" — Ballnose edge and Ballnose Cove frame. Not linked yet; the set below stops at 3/8".
150° V-bit, 1 1/4" — the 150 Degree Raised Panel. This one is a form tool, not a V-bit the software builds for you: the shallow angle is what gives a raised panel its bevel, and VCarve will not construct it from an angle. It comes out of the tool database with the profile.
The only bit on this list I can point you straight at.
150° V-bit on AmazonCuts the Chamfer edge and both passes of the Two-Step chamfer frame.
It is sold as a 91° miter-fold blade, and that is deliberate. One degree is nothing in a V-carve — half a degree per side, about two thousandths across a 1/4" deep chamfer, which you will never find with a caliper. What you get for it is a bit that also folds a mitered corner properly, which a true 90° will not.
Amana RC-1100 on AmazonFor the 60° bevel frame. The angle is the part that has to match. DoorFORGE assumes a 1" cutting diameter, which is what sets how deep the bit can reach before the shank gets in the way — a smaller insert bit still cuts the same bevel, just with less depth in hand.
60° V-groove on AmazonCuts cope-and-stick rail/stile seams and mitered corner seams. Only needed if you cut joints. 13/16" dia × 7/8" CH × 1/2" shank.
Amana RC-1045 on AmazonCovers the 1/4" ball nose, so it cuts the 1/4" Ballnose edge and the 1/4" Ballnose Cove frame. It does not include a 1/2" — the full-size Ballnose edge and Ballnose Cove need that one bought separately.
Ball nose set on AmazonThe V-bits are still unlinked, and you likely need one or two rather than all of them. For these — end mills, ball noses, V-bits — the size is what matters, not the brand. DoorFORGE builds the tool itself from the diameter and angle, so any maker works if the geometry matches. The form tools below are the opposite.
These carry their own shape and the profile matches them by name in your tool database. A near-equivalent from another maker, or a different size in the same family, will not resolve — the profile simply will not find its bit. Buy the number.
Amana 56127 — 3/8" Roundover edge.
Amana 49694 — 1/8" R plunge roundover.
Amana 56118 Plunging Ogee Style A, 9/64" R × 3/4" D ×
1/2" CH × 1/2" shank — the Simple Ogee edge, the ogee frame,
and the ogee raised panel. Three profiles off one bit.
Pick the profiles you actually want first — the card names the bit, so you can price the tooling before you commit to anything.
