Hi Timothy, thanks so much for this app, it’s very useful for calculating linear cuts with minimal waste. I am finding, however, that sometimes the calculations seem to favour the least amount of average waste instead of maximizing the use of stock; if it did this, or perhaps had the option to choose between the two, this would be a 5 star app for me.
For example, if my blade width is 0”:
The pieces I need to cut:
1x 34.5”
2x 41”
9x 9”
The stock I have to use:
1x 120”
1x 122.5”
The app tells me to do this:
120” stock = 1x 34.5”, 2x 41” (3.5” waste)
122.5” stock = 9x 9” (41.5” waste)
This would be more efficient for me:
120” stock = 1x 34.5”, 1x 41” (44.5” waste)
122.5” stock = 9x 9”, 1x 41” (0.5” waste)
I hope this helps to improve your already amazing app, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you would like more information. Thank you! :)
