Cut plans that know what is really in your stock pile.
CutBench lays out plywood, MDF and lumber parts with your real saw kerf and grain, checks every plan before you see it, then keeps track of each sheet, board and measured offcut as you cut.
FREE PLAN AND CUTBENCH PRO
CutBench costs nothing to download. The free plan keeps a single active project and plans it in full: parts, owned stock and purchase options, verified cut plans with layouts and the cut order, plan PDFs (each page ends with a small CutBench line), stock records and private backups.
CutBench Pro takes a single payment inside the app, never a subscription, and the app shows no ads. It adds unlimited active projects, reserving stock and recording real cuts and kept offcuts, plan CSV files, QR label sheets and PDFs without the CutBench line. A week-long trial opens every Pro tool, costs nothing and ends by itself. Paid for CutBench before version 1.2? That purchase already includes Pro.
Features marked (Pro) below need CutBench Pro or the trial.
PLAN WITH EXACT NUMBERS
• Type sizes in millimetres, decimals or inches with fractions. CutBench stores exactly what you entered, so rounding never changes a part.
• Sheet layouts for plywood, MDF and other panels, plus straight-length plans for boards, rails and trim.
• Set kerf, edge trims, grain direction and which parts may rotate.
• Every sheet plan is a sequence of straight, edge-to-edge cuts, checked independently before it is shown.
• Compare candidates that favour using up scrap or spending less on new material, with new cash kept apart from the value of stock you already hold.
KNOW EVERY PIECE IN THE SHOP
• Each sheet, board and offcut gets its own record, with an optional photo and storage spot.
• Reserve pieces for one job so another project can't plan around the same board (Pro).
• Print QR label sheets for your stock (Pro), then scan a label to pull up that piece.
• Suggested new material stays a purchase proposal until you receive and measure it.
CUT, MEASURE, REPLAN (PRO)
• Step through the cut tree in a workshop view with large controls.
• Confirm each real cut and record what you measured.
• Keep useful offcuts as stock, and replan unfinished parts against the material that is really left.
• Cut history stays on record, so you can trace where every piece came from.
EXPORT AND BACK UP
• Plan PDFs and cut-history CSV, plus part lists as CSV and stock labels (Pro).
• A private workspace backup, saved wherever you choose.
• Planning and inventory run on your phone, with nothing to sign in to.
MADE FOR THE FOLDABLE DUO
With the big inner screen open, the cut diagram takes one side while part details or the current cutting step take the other. Fold it shut and keep going on the outer display with the same piece selected.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
CutBench handles rectangular sheet parts and straight board lengths. Its search runs within time limits, so a plan is the best one found rather than proof of the least possible waste. Diagrams are schematic, not full-size templates, and CutBench does not control any machine.
