## What is CutList?

CutList is the cutting-list planner for woodworkers, carpenters, kitchen makers, and metal-sheet shops who want to stop wasting material.

Type your stock panel size (MDF, particleboard, plywood, OSB, acrylic, metal sheet — anything) and the list of parts you need to cut. CutList runs a 2D guillotine optimizer in seconds and gives you a layout that minimizes waste, cut length, and offcut count.

WHAT YOU GET
- 2D guillotine cutting layout, instant
- Multi-project workspace (jobs, materials, parts)
- Saw kerf compensation (set your blade thickness)
- Edge banding length and cost rollup per project
- Grain direction lock for veneered panels
- PDF export with labeled cut sheet (ready to print on the shop floor)
- Material library with reusable panel sizes
- Works offline once loaded

WHO IT IS FOR
Carpenters and joiners cutting MDF and particleboard. Kitchen and bath fitters laying out doors and panels. CNC shops planning batch runs. Hobby woodworkers tired of doing the math twice on a notepad.

WHY CUTLIST
Most cutting-list apps want you behind a desk. CutList runs on your phone or tablet right at the saw, in your pocket on the job site. Type the cut list, see the layout, send the PDF to the helper. Done.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-19*

I got this app in hopes to help plan a table I was making, first of all your only allowed 5 boards to plan, how is five boards supposed to cover a whole project. Then you have to pay 5 bucks to get the pro plan and then you pay for it and it doesn’t give it to you, it then tries to charge you again to get the pro plan, on top of that it’s in mm only not inches or feet. Needless to say this app is a scam don’t get it and certainly don’t pay the 5 bucks for the pro because you’ll throw the 5 bucks down the drain.
