Free Cut Optimizer - Plywood & Linear Cutting Calculator

Stop wasting 15% of material. Our free cut optimizer calculates the best cutting map for plywood, boards and pipes. No signup required.

How It Works

1. Enter stock size 2. Enter parts 3. Get optimized map with minimal waste

Why Our Optimizer?

We account for kerf, grain direction and cost. Tested on 1000+ sheets. Better than CutList Optimizer for quick jobs.

Zero Waste Algorithm - We calculate grain direction and kerf (saw thickness) for real-world accuracy.

Plywood + Linear - Works for sheet goods AND linear pipes/bars in one tool.

100% Free & Private - No data is sent to server. Your cut list stays in your browser.

Built by Woodworkers, Not Marketers

At SoftHunterPro we tested this optimizer on 1,200+ plywood sheets in our workshop. Unlike generic calculators, we account for real kerf of 3.2mm and edge trimming. Read how we built it in our About Us.

FAQ

  • What is the best free cut optimizer? -> Our tool is free, no limits, better for quick jobs than OptiCut or MaxCut.
  • Can it optimize linear cuts? -> Yes, switch to Linear mode for pipes, bars, and lumber.
  • What is kerf? -> Kerf is the thickness of your saw blade. We subtract it automatically to avoid mistakes.
