## What is LumberCut?

Stop guessing how many boards to buy. LumberCut is a cut list optimizer that nests every piece you need onto the fewest stock boards possible — so you walk into the lumber yard knowing the exact count and waste before you make a single cut.

Most cut calculators ignore the saw. LumberCut subtracts the blade kerf on every single cut, so the optimized plan never leaves a board a few millimeters short. It runs a proven First-Fit Decreasing packing pass, places your longest pieces first, and hands you a clean layout you can take straight to the shop.

WHAT YOU GET
- The exact number of boards to buy — no over-ordering, no last-minute yard runs
- A per-board cut diagram showing every piece, its length, and the leftover offcut
- Kerf accounted for on every cut, so real-world boards actually fit
- A yield and waste percentage that tells you how efficient your plan is
- Board-foot totals for hardwood, so you buy the right amount by volume
- Saved projects and reusable stock presets you can reopen anytime

PERFECT FOR
- Woodworkers building furniture, cabinets, and shelving
- DIY builders framing walls, decks, and outdoor projects
- Carpenters and contractors pricing out a materials list
- Hobbyists who hate wasting expensive hardwood

WHY NOT JUST DO THE MATH ON PAPER
Because paper math forgets the kerf, packs pieces in the order you wrote them, and can't test a hundred arrangements in a second. LumberCut does the packing, subtracts every saw cut, and shows you the layout — you just cut.

PRIVACY
Every project stays on your device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

FULL ACCESS
LumberCut Pro unlocks multiple stock sizes and materials, unlimited saved projects, the full cut diagram to share, and the board-foot estimator. Upgrade options: a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Type your cut list, pick your stock, and see how few boards you really need.
