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.
