Free cut list optimizer

Type your parts the way they’re written on the drawing, 23 5/8 or 34 1/2, pick your sheet size, and see how many sheets of plywood or MDF the job really takes. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Cut list optimizer

Inches and fractions. Tap 4×8 or type your own sheet size. Prices are optional, in your currency.

Made for the shop, not the spreadsheet

Fractions the way you write them

23 5/8, 3/4 and 8' 6 all work. Results come back in sixteenths, not decimals of an inch.

The real sheet count

Your parts are laid out on the sheet with the blade kerf between them, not guessed from the area. When no layout could use fewer sheets, it tells you so.

Grain stays put

Untick “Parts can turn” for veneer, walnut ply or melamine with a pattern, and every part keeps the grain running the same way.

Layouts your saw can cut

Need every cut to run edge to edge for a table saw or track saw? The panel saw cutting list only makes layouts a saw can cut.

When the job gets bigger

Several sheet sizes at once

In the app, give it your 4×8s and 5×5s with their prices and it picks the cheapest mix.

A label for every part (Pro)

Print labels on standard Avery sheets so every part knows where it goes.

Cut sheets and quotes (Pro)

A printed cut sheet for each sheet with every cut numbered in order, and a customer quote on your letterhead.

Questions
