    Offcuts in a material this project uses join the calculation automatically, before a new sheet. They are only claimed for this project once the cutting plan actually uses them. Manage them with the Offcuts button.

    Choose material, size, thickness and quantity (empty = unlimited). The kerf (saw cut) is in Settings.

    A leftover piece counts as a usable offcut if its short side is at least this; smaller is waste.

    For rough-cutting first and cutting to size afterwards, for example on the table saw. Every part comes out of the sheet this much larger on each side. Leave at 0 if the store cuts for you.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is cutlistlab free?

    Yes. You make a cutting plan with no account and no install, and your work stays on your device. A free account is optional, to save and sync.

    Which sheet materials does it work with?

    Plywood, MDF, particleboard and melamine, plus your own sheet sizes and materials.

    Can I have my wood cut at the store?

    Yes, but expect rough cuts. At Home Depot and Lowe's the cutting service is mainly there so the sheet fits in your car. Consumer sites that checked with stores report straight cuts only, about 1/2 inch accuracy and nothing under 12 inches, and the rules vary by store. Have the store make a few full-length cuts from your numbered cutting order, then cut to final size at home.

    Does it work on my phone?

    Yes, cutlistlab is mobile-first and works fine at the bench on your phone or tablet.
