XyloKerf vs Offcut

Turn your measurements into a cutting plan you can follow at the saw. XyloKerf is a cut list optimizer for plywood, MDF, sheet goods, lumber and dimensional boards. Enter your parts, and it lays them out on your stock with the blade kerf, grain direction and trim margins accounted for. Then it walks you through every cut in order. SEE THE CUTS BEFORE YOU MAKE THEM • Preview each sheet's or board's cut sequence on an interactive 3D table saw: play, pause, scrub or step through one cut at a time • Follow numbered trim, rip and crosscut steps, and check them off as you go. Your progress is saved between sessions. LAYOUTS THAT RESPECT YOUR SHOP • Sheet and board optimization that tries several strategies and keeps the most efficient layout • Kerf, grain direction, part rotation, trim margins and stock quantity • Mark banded edges and add notes; they show on the plan, the checklist and PDF, CSV and SVG exports • Clear warnings when a part can't fit, and why • Inches, fractions or millimeters FAST INPUT • Add parts one by one, paste a list, or import a photo of a cut list. Text recognition runs on your device, and you review every row before it's added. • Duplicate parts, use steppers and "Save & Add Next" to enter a whole project quickly • Open the included sample to see a finished plan in seconds. The sample doesn't count toward your free projects.
