About CutListCalc

CutListCalc - Free Cut List Optimizer for Woodworkers CutListCalc is a free online cut list optimizer for woodworkers, cabinet makers, and DIY builders. Paste your parts list, hit optimize, and get a cutting layout that minimizes waste. No registration, no paywall, no install. What it does: 2D sheet optimizer for plywood, MDF, melamine, OSB, and particle board. Enter your stock sheet size and a list of parts (width x height x qty), set your saw kerf, and get an efficient nesting layout across as few sheets as possible. See total sheets needed and exact waste percentage. 1D linear cut calculator for lumber, trim, pipe, steel bar, and fence rails. Optimizes how to cut required pieces from stock lengths with minimal offcut. PDF export. Print a clean cutting diagram with labeled dimensions to take to the shop. Full metric (mm) and imperial (inch) support. Project templates. Pre-filled parts lists for common builds: kitchen cabinet, bookshelf, closet organizer, workbench, and more. Save and load projects. Sign in (email or Google) to keep your cut lists for later. Why it's different: The optimizer runs a real bin-packing algorithm, something an AI answer box can't do. The tool is stateless and friction-free: no login required to use it, no clunky Java-applet-era UX, no features locked behind a subscription. Modern, responsive, works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, and Android straight from the browser. Built for makers who want to stop wasting expensive sheet goods and start cutting smarter.
