One calculator for any sheet material

Whether you cut MDF, plywood, chipboard, melamine, OSB, acrylic or metal sheet, the maths is the same: fit rectangular parts onto a fixed board with the least waste. This sheet cutting calculator works for any material — just set the sheet width, height and saw kerf, add your parts, and it builds a guillotine cutting plan you can cut on a panel saw.

Sheet size and kerf first

Confirm the exact board your supplier stocks (sizes vary), enter it above, and set the real saw kerf so part spacing accounts for the blade. The diagram shows each sheet, where every part is placed, and the efficiency before you commit a board.

For saved projects and on-site cutting, the free CutList app runs the same optimizer offline.
