KerfMate vs Linear Cut List Optimizer

Cut smarter before the blade touches material. KerfMate turns rectangular part lists into clear, low-waste cutting plans for sheet goods and linear stock. Plan plywood, MDF, panels, lumber, rails and profiles on iPhone or iPad—without an account, ads or tracking. PLAN SHEETS AND LENGTHS • Add parts, quantities and available stock • Optimize 2D sheets and 1D linear material • Respect blade kerf, edge trim, rotation locks and grain direction • See every placement in a visual plan • Inspect reference cut-edge coordinates for each placement • Identify parts that do not fit instead of hiding them KNOW THE MATERIAL IMPACT • See material-use percentage, stock count and estimated cost • Compare the plan with a simple one-part-per-stock baseline • Save useful offcuts in a local inventory • Work in metric or imperial measurements, including fractions BUILT FOR THE WORKSHOP • Duplicate projects to compare variants • Import parts from CSV • Export PDF plans, CSV lists, SVG layouts and JSON backups • Plan on iPhone and iPad with layouts tailored to each device • Choose English, German, Spanish, French, Italian or Brazilian Portuguese PRIVATE BY DESIGN KerfMate stores projects on your device. There is no account, backend, analytics, advertising or third-party tracking. Exports leave the app only when you choose a destination in Apple’s share sheet. FREE & PRO Free includes one project with up to 15 parts. KerfMate Pro unlocks unlimited projects and parts, offcut inventory, CSV import, variants and professional exports. Choose monthly, yearly with a 7-day trial for eligible new subscribers, or lifetime. Apple’s purchase screen shows the authoritative local price and trial eligibility. KerfMate creates practical low-waste layouts; it does not claim a mathematically optimal solution or prescribe a safe cutting order. Reference edges are coordinates, not machine instructions. Always choose a safe sequence and verify dimensions and machine setup before cutting.

Optimize your cutting plan, reduce material waste, and get more usable pieces from every bar, pipe, tube, profile, or other linear stock. Cut List Optimizer: Linear is a powerful 1D cutting optimization tool for planning cuts before you start cutting. Enter your available stock lengths, add the pieces you need, set your blade kerf, and generate an optimized cutting plan. Stop guessing how to arrange your cuts. Plan them first. OPTIMIZE YOUR CUT LIST Enter the dimensions and quantities of the pieces you need and let the optimizer arrange them across your available stock. The app helps you: • Optimize linear cutting patterns • Reduce leftover material • Minimize the number of stock pieces required • Plan cuts before production • Use existing leftover pieces efficiently • Account for blade kerf • Set a minimum remnant length • View clear cutting patterns • Calculate material usage and waste WORK WITH MULTIPLE STOCK LENGTHS Not all stock materials are the same length. Add different available stock lengths and quantities to create a practical cutting plan. You can combine standard stock with leftover pieces from previous jobs. For example: • 6000 mm steel bars • 6500 mm aluminum profiles • 5000 mm copper pipes • 3000 mm PVC pipes • Custom-length remnants The optimizer determines how to distribute your required pieces across the available stock. ACCOUNT FOR BLADE KERF Every cut removes a small amount of material. Enter your saw blade kerf so the calculation accounts for the material lost with each cut. This helps ensure your cutting plan is realistic and prevents the final piece from unexpectedly failing to fit. SAVE USEFUL REMNANTS Not every leftover piece needs to become scrap. Set a minimum remnant length to tell the optimizer which leftovers are worth keeping. Shorter pieces can be treated as waste while useful remnants remain available for future projects. CLEAR CUTTING PLANS See exactly how each stock piece should be cut. The cutting plan shows the required pieces assigned to each stock length, allowing you or your workshop team to follow the optimized pattern during production. Review: • Stock material used • Required pieces • Remaining material • Waste • Cutting patterns • Material utilization USE IT FOR MANY MATERIALS The app is useful for virtually any material sold by length. Metal & Fabrication • Steel bars • Steel tubes • Square tubing • Angle sections • Aluminum profiles • Metal sections • Rebar Plumbing & HVAC • Copper pipes • PVC pipes • PEX pipes • Conduit • HVAC tubing Woodworking • Timber • Wooden battens • Rails • Dowels • Trim • Molding Construction & Manufacturing • Profiles • Rods • Tubes • Rails • Frames • Linear stock GREAT FOR PROFESSIONALS Designed for people who regularly work with material cut to length: • Metal fabricators • Steel workshops • Aluminum fabricators • Plumbers • HVAC installers • Construction workers • Woodworkers • Furniture makers • Window and door manufacturers • Workshop professionals • DIY builders CUT SMARTER. WASTE LESS. Material waste costs money. Instead of cutting pieces in whatever order they appear on a list, optimize the complete cut list first. A better cutting pattern can help you use fewer stock pieces and reduce unnecessary offcuts. Whether you're preparing a small workshop job or a larger production cut list, plan your cuts before you start. Enter your stock. Add your cut list. Set the kerf. Optimize your cuts. Cut smarter and get more from every piece of material.
