Plywood Cut List Calculator
A plywood cut list is a group of panel parts that must fit on full sheets. The working optimizer turns repeated rectangular parts into sheet count, layout preview, yield and cost.
Panel part groups
The optimizer accepts repeated part groups so cabinet sides, shelves, backs and stretchers can be represented as rectangular sheet-good parts.
Cut-list versus sheet count
Use the plywood sheet calculator when area coverage is enough. Use this path when exact panel dimensions and kerf drive the buy quantity.
Linear stock split
Use the separate cut list calculator for rails, stiles, trim, boards and one-dimensional stock lengths.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use this or the cut list calculator?
Use this for sheet goods such as plywood, MDF, OSB and melamine. Use the cut list calculator for linear board stock.
Does it guarantee the fewest sheets?
No. It uses a disclosed first-fit shelf layout so the result is fast, visual and inspectable, but not globally optimal.
