Is there such thing as a slot-width conversion program anywhere?

Here’s an equation for fixing the slots on any pattern. Measure the thickness of your material and subtract the kerf width – that’s your desired slot size (DS). Now measure the width of the slots in your pattern (S), and also make note of the total pattern width (P).

Multiply DS * P, then divide by S. That’s the width you need to scale the pattern to in order to have your desired slot size.
