What is a cut list maker?

A cut list maker is a tool that helps woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts optimize how they cut sheet materials like plywood, MDF, and lumber. It calculates the most efficient cutting layout to minimize waste and save money by arranging your required pieces on the fewest number of sheets possible.

How does the cut list optimizer work?

Our AI-powered optimizer uses advanced algorithms to arrange your cut pieces efficiently. You input your piece dimensions and sheet size, and the tool calculates optimal layouts considering kerf (blade thickness), grain direction, and cutting methods (table saw, track saw, or circular saw) to minimize material waste.

Is Cut List Maker free to use?

Yes! Cut List Maker offers a free plan with 12 cuts per day, 1 project, and basic materials. For unlimited cuts, projects, and premium features, we offer Pro plans starting at $10/month or a 3-day trial pass for $3.

What materials does Cut List Maker support?

Cut List Maker supports all common woodworking materials including plywood, MDF, particle board, OSB, hardwoods (oak, maple, walnut, cherry), pine, birch, and custom materials. Pro users get access to premium wood textures and can add custom materials.

Can I export my cut list?

Yes! You can export your optimized cut lists as PDF documents or high-resolution images (PNG/JPG). Pro users get unlimited exports with no watermarks. The exports include detailed cutting diagrams, material lists, and cutting sequences.

Does it work with both metric and imperial measurements?

Absolutely! Cut List Maker supports both imperial (inches, feet) and metric (millimeters, centimeters, meters) measurements. You can switch between units at any time and the tool will automatically convert your dimensions.

What cutting methods are supported?

Cut List Maker optimizes for three main cutting methods: track saw (parallel guide system), table saw, and circular saw. Each method has specific optimization algorithms that consider the constraints and capabilities of that tool for the most efficient cutting sequence.

Can I save my projects?

Yes! All users can save projects to the cloud. Free users can save 1 project, while Pro users can save up to 30 projects with unlimited cuts per project. Your projects sync across all your devices.
