Cutting list & plywood cut optimizer: sheet cutting plans, kerf, grain. Offline
Read full description
Real inch fractions, numbered cut steps and a Pro upgrade you pay for once — no subscription. Kerfo is a cut list optimizer and cutting list app that turns your parts list into a plywood cutting plan in seconds: enter your parts, pick your sheets, and get a guillotine cutting diagram you can follow at the saw. Works offline. No account. No ads.
WHAT IT DOES
• Sheet cutting optimizer for plywood, MDF, melamine, chipboard / MFC and any sheet material
• 1D mode for linear stock: lumber, trim, pipe, metal bars and tubing
• Imperial fractions (1/16" by default, 1/32" or 1/8" optional) and metric, with decimals in both
• Saw kerf, edge trim, grain direction lock and part rotation
• Edge banding on any of a part's four edges, with parts entered at finished size or cut size
• Mix several sheet sizes, set limited or unlimited stock, and use up your offcuts first
• Choose rip first or crosscut first, and see the total number of cuts
• Yield %, sheets used and waste area for every layout
• Shows when a layout provably uses the fewest possible sheets or bars
BY TRADE
• Woodworking and cabinets: plywood cutting calculator, also for MDF, melamine and particle board
• Glass: a glass sheet cutting calculator for rectangular panes. Set the kerf to 0 for scored glass and add edge trim for the factory edge. Warns when a cut leaves a strip under 1" (25 mm)
• Acrylic and plastic sheets: acrylic (plexiglass), polycarbonate, PVC foam board and aluminum composite panels, with your saw or laser kerf
• Aluminum and steel profiles: window and door extrusions, square tube, angle and flat bar, from 6 m, 20 ft or any bar length. Several profiles per project, and 45° miters: enter the long-point length and the plan allows for the kerf
• Rebar: straight cutting lengths from 20 ft, 40 ft or 12 m bars, with zero kerf for shear cutting. Several diameters per project (#3–#8 or metric)

GOOD TO KNOW
• Layouts are guillotine (edge-to-edge) cuts, the kind you make on a table saw, track saw or panel saw
• One sheet material and thickness per project. For 1/4" backs on 3/4" cabinet boxes, duplicate the project and switch the sheet
• Sheet parts are rectangular, with straight cuts; 45° miters on profiles only. No shaped glass, bending schedules, nesting, CNC or DXF
• Everything works offline. Buying Pro takes a one-time internet connection
Made for woodworkers, DIY builders, cabinet makers, glaziers, sign makers, metal fabricators and rebar crews.
