Cut List Optimizer 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 sheets of plywood, MDF or melamine — and timber, battens and tube from the lengths you buy — with the least waste. Then it walks you through the cuts at the saw, one at a time. Type your cut list the way you'd say it. 15 3/16. 3/4". 4' 6". Millimetres if that's your shop. A unit written on a number always wins, so imported hardware drops into a metric project without doing sums. WHAT IT DOES • Lays out sheets. It tries twelve packing strategies on your list and keeps the best, across as many sheets as it takes — and says how many sheets to buy, or how many more you need. • Lays out lengths. Rails, legs and battens are cut from your bar lengths, with the offcut shown on each bar. • Respects the grain. Give a part a material with grain and it follows that grain on its own. Set it by hand wherever you want. • Accounts for the blade. Kerf and edge trim are part of the calculation, and you can change them right in the project. • Takes you to the saw. One cut at a time, both sides of the blade in big figures, each cut ticked off and grayed on the drawing. The screen stays on. • Cuts the way a saw cuts. Every cut runs edge to edge across the piece in your hands — never one that stops halfway. • Prints. A page per sheet and per set of bars, plus a shopping list with prices and a total — to mark off as you work. • Runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On the iPhone it works on its side too. • Works with no signal at all. Workshops are usually the worst room in the building for that. FREE The whole calculation, the drawings for sheets and bars, the saw screen and the shop calculators. Up to 25 parts, three projects, one kind of sheet and one kind of bar. PRO (one payment, no subscription) Unlimited parts, projects and stock, with several materials in one project. PDF export and printing. The cut order on the drawing. Edge banding edge by edge: parts cut to size, banding counted and priced. Offcuts kept in your library and used first next time. Your own stock list with prices. Your projects on every device you own through iCloud, kept in step as you work. 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. Your cut lists stay on your devices and in your own iCloud.
