Boardcut vs Cut List Optimizer

Turn a parts list into an optimized cutting diagram — right at the lumber aisle. Unlock Boardcut Pro with a one-time purchase. The price is shown in the app before purchase. Boardcut takes the parts you need and the sheets and boards you have, and lays out where every cut goes — so you buy less material and waste less of what you buy. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Enter parts fast — a fraction keypad built for inches (24 3/8″ takes four taps), plus decimal and mm modes • Add stock from standard presets — 4×8 plywood, dimensional lumber — or enter your own sizes • Get an optimized cut diagram with engineering-style dimensions and grain arrows • Blade kerf is drawn at its real width on every cut — with edge trim and a minimum offcut size you control • Follow a numbered cut list: every rip and crosscut in order, linked to the diagram • See waste, yield, sheet count, cut count, and material cost at a glance • Reshuffle for an alternate layout when you want a second opinion • Lock grain direction on the parts that show • Switch units anytime — inch fractions, decimal inches, or millimeters — never paywalled • Two drawing-table themes: Workshop (birch and pencil) and Blueprint (cyanotype) FREE — THE FULL TOOL, ANY PROJECT SIZE Plan the whole build free: unlimited pieces, the optimizer, the full cut diagram, ordered cut steps, and sheet-image sharing. No account, no trial clock. Boardcut Pro Lifetime • Vector PDF plans — diagrams, cut steps, and a shopping list, sharp in print • Save this sheet’s offcut sizes as stock in this project. • CSV export of parts and placements Unlock Boardcut Pro with a one-time purchase.

It sends limited anonymous product-interaction events for analytics; project names, notes, dimensions, and layouts are not sent. Boardcut is a planning calculator. Always verify every dimension against your actual material before cutting — sheet sizes, blade kerf, and lumber dimensions vary. Boardcut does not provide instruction on tool use or workshop safety; follow your tool manufacturer's instructions and use proper safety equipment.

SawKit works out how to cut your parts from full sheets of plywood, MDF or melamine with the least waste — and then tells you the order to make the cuts in. Type your cut list the way you'd say it. 15 3/16. 3/4". 4' 6". Millimetres if that's your shop. SawKit reads all of it, and a unit written on a number always wins, so you can mix imported hardware into a metric project without doing sums. WHAT IT DOES • Works out the layout across as many sheets as it takes, and picks the best of twelve different packing strategies for your particular list. • Respects the grain. Say which way it runs on the sheet and on the part, and parts that must follow it are turned to match — never guessed from which number you typed first. • Accounts for the blade. Kerf and edge trim are part of the calculation, not an afterthought. • Gives you the cut order. Every pass runs edge to edge across the piece in your hands, numbered, so you can work through it at the saw. • Prints. A page per sheet plus a shopping list with prices and a total, in black and white that survives a workshop printer. • Runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac, side by side or one at a time. • Works with no signal at all. Workshops are usually the worst room in the building for that. FREE INCLUDES Everything above on screen: the whole calculation, the drawing, and the calculators. Up to 25 parts, three projects and one kind of stock. PRO ($24.99, one payment) Unlimited parts, projects and stock. PDF export and printing. The cut order. Your own stock list with prices. Your projects on every device you own. SHOP CALCULATORS — always free Board feet with cost. Purchase allowance, done properly: waste comes out of what you buy, not what you need, so 15% waste means buying about 18% more — not 15%. Project cost with markup. PRIVACY Nothing is collected. No account, no analytics, no tracking, no server. Your cut lists are yours and they stay on your devices.
