FROM MEASUREMENTS TO A WORKING PLAN • Enter finished lengths and quantities, stock length, saw kerf and allowance at each end. • Work in millimetres or inches, including common fractions down to 1/64 inch and feet-and-inches input. • Paste a length × quantity list or read text from a selected photo. Review and confirm every imported item. • See how many bars to prepare, a proportional diagram for each bar, and calculated kerf, trim and offcut. • Mark pieces as completed and continue from your saved projects. • Share a text list or a paginated PDF with the diagrams and piece checklist.

Initial purchase and purchase restoration need an internet connection; the planning tools work offline after unlock. CLEAR LIMITS Up to 20 input rows and 100 pieces per project. One material, cross-section and stock length; stock availability is assumed unlimited. The calculation searches for fewer bars and clearly distinguishes a proven minimum from a feasible plan when its search limit is reached. It does not handle sheet nesting, angled cuts, mixed stock sizes or structural calculations. Use your measured stock length and actual tool settings. End trim includes end-trimming cuts. Check the calculation guide and each plan before cutting.
