With the kerf set to zero razor knife thickness this app helped with making divided storage trays for Christmas ornaments from foam core board Of course it s been used in the wood shop too My only wish would be that parts could be parametric allowing me to enter a part s dimensions and then changing the part s quantity later Or entering a project as a list of parts and then changing the project quantity later Until then I can live with making a BOM first and then entering things It s still a five star app in my book                     Handy for making foam board trays Jeff.Logullo

Very nice and easy would like more edit options Have to delete and re add but so easy not much of a hit Also would like to manually assign some cuts to certain woods Spot on product                 Nice and easy to use Just-saying?

Works great when you have plywood to cut Especially at today s lumber prices                     Great money saver Retiredcpatom

Saved me tons of time on several large projects Worth the price and very easy to use                     Works great Gbaseball13

This app was written by someone who has never cut up a sheet of plywood The reason It does not account for saw blade kerf The app provides a place to enter the saw width dimension but does not use it in the calculations which is pointless If you need to make precise cut in sheets of plywood acknowledging kerf width is critical For example if you need to cut two pieces with widths of 24 or two pieces with widths of 18 and 30 respectively from a 4 by 8 sheet of goods the app will butt the cuts together across the width of the sheet Thus each of your width dimensions will be short by 1 2 the saw blade kerf width That is unacceptably sloppy     Not usable Jonathan Ward

Great for figuring how much mounding to buy                     Really handy Gdsgeek

Great tool simplifies design process gives accurate cut lists                     Great tool Adsjcmo

Well worth it would be great to have Mac OS and iPhone version Knocks more expensive PC software out of water                     Great jimstace

Used three times already saved two sheets of plywood Very easy to use                     Cool Hifimartin

I have been building kitchen drawers a large pantry and drawer dividers and this app has made all of my cut lists a perfect as possible This has saved me the time of trying to figure it out and the money of not buying extra wood Completely awesome                     Saves me time and money Fun with drums

I wish I could get my 4 99 back         Very clunky and not intuitive DBarr62

You should be able to enlarge the drawings otherwise it s a helpful tool for small projects                 Awesome with one exception ****88

This really helps me minimize board waste                     Great for me the novice Mace4kids

I just don t understand what all the complaints are about It s only 4 99 not 499 C mon I ve yet to actually cut a sheet of 4x8 ply on my TS using the app but I ve studied the way its handles layouts taking into account blade thickness and it seems to be right for kitchen cabinets                     Time Material Saving App zero2hide

I would gladly delete this app for my 5 back My cut list would be from white melamine sheets so grain direction is irrelevant Even without entering a blade cut thickness this program had me hacking up a whole sheet when I can get it out of a half sheet Figuring it out myself also allowed me to line things up better and do less cuts     Junk unchaotic

This app is very useful for me when I m making my cut list for my projects                     Great app Durell1977

Saves me tons of time designing kitchen cabinet cuts Love it                     Life just became easier VicBack

Took we a while to get used to how to add modify or delete cuts and materials but once I got familiar with that this app has been perfect for me So far this app has done a spectacular job of optimizing materials Has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend doing it with a calculator and or graph paper Have used it for both linear goods such as 2x4s and sheet goods Also has saved me money by eliminating waste I m sure I ve already saved the few this app costs Much better overall than I would have expected                     regular guy enemy of fun

Gives the best layout for length and area cuts simple to use and accurate Saves money on materials and your time This is worth five stars and an app purchase fee Will be a favorite after first us                     Great Time and money saving HBMc

I used the original freeware cutlisting software way back when and as rudimentary as it was over 10 ago it blows this away w early 90s graphics This app is fine to see how much material you ll need for a project but doesn t seem to take into account maximization of unused material or preferences for initial cuts being of rip or chop It also doesn t seem to register preference of grain direction What s killing me the most is that there s no manual placement so you can t move the pieces Why can t I fix this app s horrible layouts I wanna line pieces up along long initial rip cuts but this has me making a million little shorty cuts Yeh right No me no way not now not ever This has a pretty interface and is all polished up but no I d rather use my pencil LOL         Meh not really FUCHTARD

Great app for the DIY er Saves money and time by providing a shopping list and the plan for each piece of stock                     Very Handy App BWHarriger

I guess I could sum up my review with you get what you pay for The most glaring omission is the inability to include material thickness in sheet goods calculations I commonly use 1 4 1 2 5 8 and 3 4 thick plywood and or mdf in a project There is no way to enter these thicknesses in you cuts or materials I can t use this for what I do I gave it 2 stars because it is very easy to use and can quickly do 5th grade math and save you 20 seconds of figuring         Easy but too simple for shop use Griz_Pharm

Calculate materials needed for complicated projects This app will make it easy to optimize and organize your cut sheet                 Great help to save materials Bobble head elvis

Helped me figure out the size of lumber to buy based on my project needs really simple and easy to use Printing ability was great as well so I can take sheets with me to store Also was able to go back to a saved project make changes and recalculate Had a little learning curve at first but realized you want to calculate lengths on one dimension at a time for ex Put in all cuts on 2x4s only and available stock to come up with lengths to buy or cuts and available stock on a area for ex Plywood sheets of certain size to but for all cuts from plywood needed I thought ability to have pricing might be helpful but generally longer stock lengths and efficient cuts translate to lower costs Couldn t find this tool in more expensive apps                     Nifty App TimS_Pgh

Saves a lot of time for cutting wood or metal I have a machine and welding shop and use this app all the time cutting pieces out of plate or strips of metal I used to try and figure all of this on a pad with a calculator but this makes it so much easier You can also add for the width of your saw blade or cutting torch Highly recommend this to machinists welders and woodworkers                     wonderful app Racer 99

The input interface is not very intuitive A more positive enter or save button for each step would help For example if you do not enter the unit like inches you can hit done and nothing happens A training video or real instruction would help Overall a good value but with just a few tweaks it could be a killer             Nice but could be easier to use Nikki998877

Bought it for the plywood calculator Very useful and helpful                     Buy it Bosn Ski

Just what I need to figure out how much wood to buy and how to optimize its yield It has no useless bells and whistles For 5 bucks you can t beat it                     Love it LuftHead

This app has been very helpful the past couple of years One improvement I d like to see is the ability to optimize based on multiple quantities of the same length stock I have on hand                     Great app Martha's Vineyard, MA

This app does exactly what it is supposed to do I ve been using the heck out of it so glad I found it                     Love this app Dubberdo

I used to calculate my cut lists with paper and pencil I live 1 1 2 hours away from the nearest hardwood dealer so I try to batch all my cut lists so I only have to buy materials every few months Figuring out all the cut lists for the projects I needed for the next few months on paper was quite a chore and something I did not look forward to However using Cut Calculator is so easy I don t mind making cut list anymore If you are a woodworker you will find this program very helpful                     Great for Woodworkers Opie1234567

It told me that I had entered a cut that was larger than any available sheet 4 x8 but I double checked and none of them were The largest dimensions were 7 and 46 25 which you can cut out of a 4x8 sheet even accounting for the blade thickness It wouldn t let me proceed so it s worthless     Doesn t make sense AlbuquerqeMatt

This took me about 5 minutes to master and it probably saved me 2 sheets of plywood and an hour of calculation time Much cheaper than the other app Good investment                     Saving time and money JenJen323

Strongly recommend this app for anyone who needs to know how to carve up sheets of plywood for projects Making wall cabinets from oak plywood PERFECT                     Perfect Exactly what I needed Snateazzi

Love this app No need to run about looking for graph paper to figure out if I can fit all my cuts into one sheet of plywood or not If how much wood is all you need to know this app is perfect I would take it once step further I ask that the developers add a feature that would allow some manual manipulation of the cuts I have a project that requires L shaped cuts and this app will not support that Once I put in the dimensions it would be nice if I could couple some of the pieces together but this app optimizes the space forcing my pieces to separate even when I would prefer they did not I have also had situations where once I knew all the pieces will fit I d seen that they could have been aligned better for planning the easiest possible cuts Again a little manual manipulation would have been key here Next upgrade fellas                 Amazingly useful One more request Girli me

Could not get the quantities needed to enter Frustrating Did not work for me     Lynn Wayfinder30

Good solid app Could have more basic features to make it even moor useful                     Good useful app Sparkey9

The app does an adequate job optimizing panel rough out but has a number of easily fixed problems The printout has text on medium green and pseudo wood texture If printed out on a black white printer the measurements on the diagram are difficult to read You just get the diagram you don t get a list anywhere There should be a checklist of panels preferably with an index for cross referencing Clicking on Share Mail just prints out the material list i e 4 x 8 6 rather than the cut order or the cut diagrams The cut optimization sometimes goes wacky for example I had a large number of slightly different width cuts all at 31 1 8 if I allowed rotation it burned an entire 4 x 8 on just 4 panels laying out two horizontal and two vehicle Manually I could get about 8 panels with a much more straight forward cutting plan Finally when entering fractions changing the denominator rested the numerator to 1 I understand the range of the numerator needs to change no one wants to see 31 8 but the selected index of the new numerator should be relative to the previously chosen numerator rather than spin back to 1             Needs attention to details NSReviewWithPrompt
