Linear Cut List Calculator
Use our Linear Cut List Calculator to optimize stock lengths into cut lists that reduce waste and cost
How It Works
The Linear Cut List calculator helps you optimize the use of stock lumber or materials by efficiently allocating your required cuts to available stock lengths, minimizing waste and reducing costs.
Using advanced optimization algorithms, it determines the most efficient way to cut your required pieces from standard stock lengths, showing you exactly how to make each cut for minimal waste.
Key Features
- Optimize cutting patterns to minimize waste
- Calculate the exact number of stock lengths needed
- Visualize cutting diagrams for each stock piece
- Account for saw kerf width in calculations
How to Use
- Enter your required cut lengths and quantities
- Specify available stock lengths and their costs
- Add saw kerf width if relevant
- Generate optimized cutting patterns
