  • Mixed-length stock cutting plan

    Find an exact minimum-board allocation for a bounded list of mixed-length parts.

    Inputs: Measured stock length (in), Total end trim per board (in), Kerf between consecutive parts (in), Required part lengths (in).

    Results: Stock boards required (boards), Exact cut assignment (groups), Remaining length on each board (in).

  • Resaw yield estimate

    Count thickness resaw slices and show cuts and unallocated stock thickness.

    Inputs: Measured blank thickness (in), Target dressed slice thickness (in), Extra thickness per slice for planing (in), Measured blade kerf (in).

    Results: Slices available (slices), Cuts required between slices (cuts), Thickness left after planned slices (in).

  • Round tabletop glue-up cut lengths

    Calculate board count and per-board cut lengths for a centered circular panel glue-up.

    Inputs: Finished tabletop diameter (in), Radial trim allowance around the circle (in), Measured usable board width (in).

    Results: Equal-width boards required (boards), Board cut lengths from one side of the panel (in), Total cut length (ft).

  • Panel glue-up board planner

    Find how many rough boards will reach a finished panel width after explicit edge losses and trim.

    Inputs: Finished panel width (in), Total final width trim (in), Rough board width (in), Jointing loss per edge (in).

    Results: Boards to prepare (boards), Usable width per board (in), Glued blank width (in).

  • Sheet cutting yield

    Calculate a feasible uniform cutting grid and whole-sheet purchase count for plywood, MDF or OSB.

    Inputs: Usable sheet width (in), Usable sheet length (in), Part width (in), Part length (in), Kerf between parts (in), Required parts (pieces).

    Results: Parts per sheet (pieces), Sheets to buy (sheets), Chosen uniform orientation (setting).

    Plan stock and sheet cuts
  • End-grain cutting board layout

    Estimate the number and dimensions of strips from a first panel for a two-stage end-grain glue-up.

    Inputs: First panel width (in), Usable first-panel length (in), Surfaced first-panel thickness (in), Crosscut slice width (in), Crosscut kerf between slices (in).

    Results: Rows/slices available (slices), Second panel width (in), Second panel length (in), Second panel thickness (in), Unallocated first-panel length (in).
