Is this angle iron linear calculator free?

Yes. The linear cut list optimizer runs in the browser with free-tier daily limits.

Can I use multiple angle iron stock lengths?

Yes. Enter every stick length you buy — 6 m or 20 ft angle stock — and compare yield.

How do I set kerf for angle iron?

Measure once on scrap. For angle iron, 3–4 mm abrasive wheel is a common starting point until tooling changes.

How Cutlistor optimizes angle iron

The free linear cut list optimizer accepts multiple angle iron stock lengths, part lengths, quantities, and kerf. Review stick count and yield before you buy.

Kerf for metal

Set kerf to match abrasive wheel or cold saw blade width.

Metal kerf on angle iron

Abrasive and cold saw kerf differ — update per machine. Underestimating kerf shortens repeated bracket packs.

Step-by-step angle iron linear workflow

List every finished angle iron length and quantity. Enter stock lengths you actually buy — 6 m or 20 ft angle stock. Set kerf to 3–4 mm abrasive wheel.

Run the optimizer and read stick count plus offcuts. Compare 6 m vs custom mill lengths on the same cut list when price per foot differs.

For mixed jobs, run panels in the sheet optimizer and sticks here. Link both PDFs in the job folder.

Kerf and stock lengths for angle iron

L-section and angle stock cuts along length. Kerf is often wider on abrasive cuts than wood blades.

Stock option	Typical use
6 m angle	Fabrication shop standard
20 ft	Imperial angle stock
Remnants	Inventory offcuts as stock rows

Worked example: bracket angles from bar

Twenty-four 400 mm and eight 900 mm angles from 6 m × 50×50 mm stock with 3.5 mm abrasive kerf.

Bar stock calculator Steel cut list generator

Linear cut list optimizer packing angle iron lengths onto stock bars with a cut diagram — The optimizer packs your angle iron lengths onto each stock bar and shows the leftover offcut per stick.

Import, export, and verification

Import linear CSV or XLSX from /samples/cutlist-import/ when Excel already holds angle iron lengths.

Export PDF cut sequences for the crew. Paid plans add saved projects and mitered ends on linear parts in the dashboard.

Free anonymous use includes 3 calculations per day, up to 20 part rows, and CSV imports of up to 5 rows.

Before you cut angle iron: checklist

Confirm angle iron stock length matches the bundle on order. Confirm kerf for your cutting process.

Link sheet and linear PDFs when one job uses both material forms.
