Sawgrid vs Cabinetmaker Calc

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. Cut layouts are computed on your device. There is no account and no project leaves the phone. The free version loads third-party advertising over the internet; Pro removes that advertising. Sawgrid works in a basement workshop with no signal. Terms of Use: https://sawgrid.vercel.app/terms.html Where available, you can explore recommendations for our other apps.

Cabinetmaker’s Calculator helps cabinetmakers and installers calculate parts for drawers and pull-out shelves, lay out hardware drilling and check drawer arrangements inside a cabinet. Take the results into the workshop in a clear PDF. WOODEN DRAWERS, YOUR CONSTRUCTION Choose material thicknesses, butt or dovetail joints, grooves, bottom position and height adjustments. Configure the front and back independently. Check the construction in 3D and use your saved design for a single drawer, a whole cabinet or a narrow assembly behind one shared front. Supported runners include Blum MOVENTO, TANDEM and TANDEM 19, plus Hettich Actro 5D, Quadro V6 5D, Quadro V6 YOU, Quadro 25 2D and Quadro 25 YOU. Blum USA variants also work with inches and workshop fractions. Cut sizes, machining details and installation information follow the selected construction and system. PULL-OUT SHELVES Set dimensions, an optional front and a supported configuration. View the finished shelf inside the cabinet and prepare cut lists, runner drilling and a PDF. The selection includes specific Blum and Hettich systems and Blum USA variants; opening functions, locking and other options depend on the system. BOX DRAWERS Arrange overlay and inset fronts, internal drawers, Gola profiles, different runner lengths and compatible TIP-ON / PUSH variants. Check dimensions, installation space and usable storage heights, prepare cabinet and front drilling, drilling templates and drawer cut lists. Supported systems also offer different bottom and back constructions. 18 box systems: • Blum TANDEMBOX antaro, MERIVOBOX and LEGRABOX • Hettich AvanTech YOU, InnoTech Atira and ArciTech • Strong StrongBox, StrongMax 16 and StrongMax 18 • Häfele Matrix S Slim • GTV MODERN BOX PRO, AXIS PRO 16, AXIS PRO 18 and MODERN BOX SQUARE • GRASS Nova Pro Scala • AMIX Elite Box • Level SPACE PRO and BOX Dedicated tools for narrow cabinets with box or wooden drawers behind a shared front. Installation configurations depend on the selected system’s capabilities. BLUM LIFT SYSTEMS Front weight, lift mechanism selection, drilling, installation space and ordering summary for AVENTOS HK top, HK-S, HK-XS, HF top, HS top and HL top. MORE WORKSHOP TOOLS • Furniture-handle drilling, hinge spacing and shelf spacing. • Cutlery-tray dimensions and squareness checks using diagonals. • Estimate the edge banding left on a roll from its diameter, radial winding depth and edge banding thickness. • Installation jobs, notes and cut lists with material thickness, quantities and ABS edge banding totals including an allowance. • Calculate directly in numeric fields; enter inches in the relevant variants. • Saved assemblies and PDFs to print, share or save. OFFLINE, WITHOUT ACCOUNTS OR ADS One-time purchase with no subscription. Dimensions, settings and jobs stay on your device. Available lengths, load ratings, constructions and installation functions vary by system. Before production, check the entered dimensions and the manufacturer’s current technical documentation.
