Technology

Cut List Maker doesn’t just wing it with a wobbly handsaw, it runs advanced cut-planning sharp enough to peel curls off a 2×4. It’s your digital master carpenter, trying every cut order, by length, width, or short side, until the scrap pile is smaller than a handful of sawdust. Every sheet is optimized like a tight-grained board—because wasting wood is the real sin.

Forget rusty nails and duct tape hacks this is precision tuned for more power. Fueled by AI and math joints tighter than a hand cut dovetail, Cut List Maker doesn’t just make cut plans, it supercharges them fast, accurate, and rock-solid. Runs smooth on any device, like a board fresh off the planer. No sanding, no splinters… just pure shop floor horsepower.
