Stephen Adler Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi all, I am wondering if there is some software or something out there where a guy can figure out which pieces of wood will come out of a larger piece of stock. I guess for a better description, is there like a digital graph paper out there or something that I can add all the required sizes of the pieces I need for a project onto a larger, nominally sized piece of wood, to avoid waste? As a backup, I am thinking of cutting cereal boxes or something thin like that up and marking their sizes on them and laying them on a piece of wood before I cut out the different pieces I need. Just wondering if anyone has any good tips or knows of some program that I can get. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 If you google "cutlist" there are lots of programs and ideas. I used to have an old one for making panel doors but I can not find. Lumberjocks has a tested one use if you design in Sketch up. http://lumberjocks.com/daltxguy/blog/5143 Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
