Ripcut: Cut List Optimizer

Stop guessing how much plywood to buy. List the parts for your project, enter the stock you plan to buy, and Ripcut lays out the cuts that use the fewest sheets or boards, with your blade's kerf taken out of every cut.

Built for the shop, for anyone building cabinets, bookcases, shop furniture or any project from plywood, MDF or dimensional lumber. Plan it at the workbench or in the aisle at the lumberyard. iPhone and iPad.

PLAN YOUR PARTS

• Name each part and give its length, width and quantity.
• Type fractions like 3/4 or 1-1/2, or decimals.
• Imperial or metric, your choice.
• A sample bookcase shows how it works before you start your own.

SEE EVERY CUT

• Sheets: 2D layouts for plywood, MDF and other sheet goods.
• Boards: 1D layouts for dimensional lumber, each part cut from the full width.
• Kerf: set your blade width once and every layout accounts for it.
• Rotation: let parts turn to fit better, or turn it off when grain direction matters.
• A diagram for each sheet or board, the total stock to buy, and a waste percentage so you can compare stock sizes.
• Parts too big for your stock are listed, never left out.
