Sawgrid vs CutList Pro

Stop guessing how to break down a sheet. Enter your panel sizes and your part list, and Sawgrid works out the layout that gets the most out of every board. Built for cabinetmakers, joiners, furniture makers, metal fabricators, laser and CNC shops, and anyone who buys material by the full sheet. Every cut Sawgrid produces runs edge to edge across the panel, which is exactly what a table saw or a panel saw can actually execute. WHAT SAWGRID DOES - 2D panel nesting built only from through cuts your saw can follow - 1D length cutting for trim, tube, bar and profile, in the same project - Runs all 108 optimisation strategies and keeps the best result - Edge trim on the outside edges counted exactly, never estimated - Every requested part is either placed or reported with a reason. Nothing is dropped in silence - Millimetres, centimetres and inches, including fractions like 2' 6 3/4 SAWGRID PRO - Multi page PDF with the cut map, part list, cut sequence and labels, plus the cut list as CSV - Your own saw kerf, instead of the fixed 3 mm every free plan is solved with - Grain direction per part: free to rotate, forced lengthwise or forced crosswise - Several materials and thicknesses in one project, one run, separate plans per material - More than one saved project, side by side - Saw table mode: the next cut shown large, the screen stays awake, tick each cut off - Offcut stock that gets used up before you open a fresh sheet - Thorough optimisation: a second pass that often saves another panel on a big job Pro is available as a subscription or as a one time purchase. Calculating layouts is free, for as many parts and panels as a real job has, and a free plan is the whole plan: the cut map, the utilisation and the area balance. Free works on one project at a time, with one material in it, and a fixed 3 mm saw kerf that the result screen states every time. Everything is computed on your device. There is no account and no project leaves the phone. Only the advertising in the free version needs a connection, and Pro carries none. Sawgrid works in a basement workshop with no signal.

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/
