Cutting layout
Parts list
The layout is a quick heuristic, not a guaranteed optimum. Drawings are to scale but are not full-size templates; measure and mark each part on the sheet before you cut.

Take the plan to the workshop
Save it, add grain direction, track offcuts and plan several sheets in Kerfwise.
Kerfwise is our cut-plan app for iPhone (iOS 26 or later). It is free to download; offcut tracking through recorded cuts is part of Kerfwise Pro, a one-time purchase with a free 7-day trial.
Questions
Is this the best possible layout?
Not necessarily. This page is a simple cut list optimizer: it tries a few dozen part orders and placement rules, keeps the layout that uses the fewest sheets, and shows it. That is a heuristic, not a guaranteed optimum, so a person or a slower search can sometimes do better.
How is the kerf counted?
Every cut removes one kerf of material. Two neighbouring parts sit at least one kerf apart, and offcut sizes are what remains after that cut. A part that runs exactly to the sheet edge needs no kerf on that side. The page does not trim factory edges, so if your sheet edges are damaged, enter a slightly smaller sheet size.
Can every layout be cut with a table saw or track saw?
The layouts are guillotine layouts: each cut runs straight across the piece it divides, edge to edge. That suits table saws, track saws and panel saws. The page does not give a cut order, so plan your first long cuts before you start.
Does it handle grain direction?
Only in a simple way: turn off “Parts may turn 90°” and every part keeps its length along the sheet length. You cannot set grain part by part here.
Are my parts uploaded or saved anywhere?
No. The layout is calculated by JavaScript in this tab, and the page makes no network requests after it loads. Your last inputs are kept in this browser's local storage so they are there next time; clearing your browser data removes them.
