Work with one material at a time
Keep species, thickness, cross-section and grade consistent. This is a 1D length planner, not a sheet-nesting or CNC tool.
A LITTLE PLANNING. A LOT LESS WASTE.
1D cutting plans.
Less material waste.
Cutcraft is a free 1D cutting planner for boards, bars and pipes. Enter stock and part lengths, include saw kerf and trim, compare practical plans, and export a cut list in your browser.

THE WORKBENCH
Your material, mapped out.
Synthetic sample loaded. Replace these dimensions with your own.
Conservative model: one kerf per part, plus your total trim allowance per used stock piece. Include all end-trimming loss in that allowance. One material/profile per project.

Small workshop. Big picture.Up to 500 parts and 500 stock pieces. Compare six deterministic heuristics.
Your plans stay with you.
Project calculations and imports run in this browser. No project uploads, analytics, accounts or external scripts. Normal hosting requests still reach the site host.
A PLAN, NOT A PROMISE
Measure twice.
Plan with a little margin.
Cutcraft compares six practical arrangements. It doesn't prove the mathematically optimal solution, and it doesn't control any machine.
Make the allowances explicit
Kerf is reserved for every part, even a final part that might not need a cut. Trim is a total loss per stock piece. A zero value is allowed, but only use it if appropriate for your process.
Verify before using the plan
Check dimensions, material condition, allowances and quantity. Diagram labels may be rounded. Use the numbered list for exact entered dimensions. Follow your equipment's instructions and safe working procedures.
Keep a portable copy
JSON and project CSV can be imported again. Cut-list CSV includes unfulfilled parts and repeats stock-level fields per part row. It is a report, not a project backup. Browser storage can be cleared or unavailable; export a backup for anything important.
FREE TO USE. OPTIONAL TO SUPPORT.
