Sheetwise – Cut List Optimizer

New in 1.2: boards and lumber, edge banding and parts list import. Type in your parts and Sheetwise works out the fewest sheets and boards, with every cut numbered.

One-time purchase. No subscription.

Sheetwise turns your parts list into a cutting plan for plywood, MDF and other sheet goods, and for boards and lumber cut to length. Type in the pieces you need, choose your sheets and boards, and Sheetwise works out how to cut them with as few sheets and boards and as little waste as it can. Then it numbers every cut in the order to make it.

BUILT FOR THE SHOP • Enter sizes the way you measure: 23 5/8, 1' 11 5/8", 23.625 or 600 mm. Fraction keys sit right above the number pad. • Allows for your saw blade's kerf and any edge trim. • Lock the grain direction on the parts that need it. The others can turn to fit. • Mix materials in one project, such as 3/4" birch for the case, 1/4" for the back and 1×2s for the face frame. • Every sheet layout uses straight, edge-to-edge cuts you can make on a table saw or track saw.

BOARDS AND LUMBER Add a material that's cut to length: 2×4s, hardwood, trim or bar stock. Give it the board lengths you buy, and Sheetwise fits your parts onto the fewest boards, or the cheapest when you enter prices. Each cut is measured from the end of the board.

EDGE BANDING Mark which edges of a part get banding. Sheetwise adds up how much to buy, with an allowance for waste, and can subtract the banding's thickness so parts finish at the size you entered.

IMPORT A PARTS LIST Paste a list, open a CSV file from a spreadsheet, or use a photo of a list. Sheetwise shows what it read so you can correct it, and nothing is added until you say so. Photos are read on your device.

TWO WAYS TO CUT For sheets, Sheetwise works out two layouts every time: Least waste, and Simple to cut, with straighter strips that are quicker at the saw. It shows you the trade-off, so you can choose.
