Cut List Optimizer
Cut List Optimizer is a free online calculator for determining the most efficient way to cut boards and plywood sheets with the least waste. It addresses the problem of planning material purchases and cutting sequences for woodworking projects.
The tool supports both one-dimensional boards and two-dimensional sheet goods. Users input part dimensions and quantities along with available stock sizes. It produces an optimized layout that minimizes the number of boards or sheets required. A numbered cut sequence is generated for each piece measured from the left end. Offcut reuse is available through an offcut bin that allows saved remnants from prior projects to be used first when the option is selected. Saw kerf compensation is included as an adjustable value. Grain direction can be preserved by preventing rotation of panels. Separate handling is provided for different materials so they remain on distinct sheets. Results update live as inputs change.
The interface offers separate sections for boards and sheets. Projects can be saved, deleted, or shared. Export options include CSV, DXF, and PNG formats along with the ability to print a summary. No signup is required, no data is uploaded, and there are no usage limits. Units can be switched between imperial and metric. The calculator is delivered as a web-based tool on the Plank and Build site.
It is provided at no cost.
