It's been a long time since trigonometry at school; can anyone help?

[KatyMac]

I need to know x if possible

Is it sine or cosine on tan or something?

God I feel old

oh I see, I was assuming cooker top (hob) on top of the oven, not just the actual oven (or double oven). still seems like quite a lot of wasted space, though, behind the oven.

The exact depth of the oven doesn't matter, and they'll all be approx 600 mm deep to be flush with a standard 600m cabinet.

What matters is the width. That dictates what the gap between the cabinets at the front must be to accommodate it. And the OP's diag is quite correct for a 600 mm wide oven.

It feels horribly complicated if you're trying to do the geometry. But the reality is that diag is correct, and as long as you place the cabinets like that, you'll find the oven fits nicely and you can adjust forward<->backward by eye.

I need a safe landing either side to lift things onto - if its in a line I have too far to reach and sometimes I wont be strong enough

I have replaced most base units with drawers which are easier

With only one with doors for drinks bottles!

Put the oven flat against the wall. Leave a gap wide enough for a cupboard that can take ironing board, hoover, mop.
Absolute waste of space otherwise.

It is loads of wasted space but I'm kind of stuck with it

Ironing board, hoover and mop are kept elsewhere (utility and sewing room)

Oh I see. Are you planning to turn those end panels to run flush against the side of the oven? So you end up with a diagonal bit of worktop?

Then they'll need to be approx 850 mm deep.

(I see posters above have given 848.5 mm as the exact figure for that hypoteneuse: so use that figure).

Put a small counter in the other side of the flat oven? It looks like it would fit.

Then they'll the end panels will need to be approx 850 mm deep.

That's it exactly and maybe extend the wall units to make it neat

So currently there is an 800 (2 x 400 door) oven 400 (1 x 400 door) and I think it will be a 400 (1 x 400 door), 600 (1 x 400 door plus spacer), oven, 600 (spacer, 1 x 400 door)

There isnt any point extending the base units as I couldnt reach in anyway

Im using faced ply so it comes in 2440 by 1220 - so it should be OK

Sounds lovely!

Possibly check your supplier can do diagonal ends to the wall units. If you've gone cheap-and-cheerful they might not, and IIRC it can be dodgy to just remove an end panel yourself, because the structural integrity of the whole cabinet goes.

In that case you'd have to give up hope of the extra triangle of cupboard, but could still have it at the worktop.

Ive got kitchen fitters so I will check they can

We are having to change our cupboard doors because once we have put all our samples together

Taken 2 mins apart with only one item chnaged

I'm getting too tired to do figures, but don't forget that when your diagram says "1093 mm" for the distance from corner to start of cabinets, that's actually 1093 mm to the start of the ply end pieces. Then you have the thickness of the ply. Then the bought cabinet starts.

If that bit gets stuffed up, I think you will still have:
a) plenty of wiggle room if the ply isn't too thick; and
b) the option of cutting the ply end piece so it's not quite as deep and stops just before it reaches the front of the cabinets, and therefore does not encroach on your sacred 600 mm at the front of the oven space.

Yes that makes sense

Thank you

And thank you to everyone else it's been a real help
