Bar stock cutting calculator
Machine shops and metal fabricators often buy standard bar lengths. A bar stock cutting calculator tells you how many bars to pull before you start sawing.
Run the numbers in Cutlistor
The free linear cut list optimizer accepts multiple stock lengths, part lengths, quantities, and kerf. Review yield before you buy another bundle of sticks.
Remnant policy
Decide whether short offcuts are scrap or inventory. The optimizer highlights yield so you can compare plans.
