About

CutList Pro

Features
Read full description

CutList Pro is a cut list optimizer for plywood, MDF, and dimensional lumber. Turn your parts list into cutting layouts that account for grain and saw kerf, reduce waste, and simplify saw setups. Built for the shop floor: fraction-native input (type 30 1/4 as easily as you'd say it), true guillotine layouts a table saw can actually execute, and grain direction handled correctly on every part. TWO WAYS TO OPTIMIZE • Least waste — classic sheet nesting that squeezes your parts into fewer sheets • Fewest setups — groups rips by width so you dial the fence once, not nine times WHAT YOU GET • Exact tape-measure fractions (1/8, 1/16, 1/32) and full metric support • Grain direction locked per part, with arrows on the diagram • Kerf-aware math — every cut accounts for your blade • Per-sheet cut diagrams with pinch-zoom, labels, and offcut tracking • An ordered cut sequence you can follow at the saw • PDF cut plans: diagrams, cut list, and printable part labels • Sheet goods AND dimensional lumber (board) modes • Works 100% offline. No account. No ads. WORKSHOP TOOLBOX Use the board foot calculator to estimate lumber volume and cost. Calculate fractions, shelf and slat spacing, panel subdivisions, picture frames, and edge banding. Add generated parts and shop notes to a project. Measure twice, cut once — and let the math find the layout. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
