Is this EMT conduit linear calculator free?

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

Can I use multiple EMT conduit stock lengths?

Yes. Enter every stick length you buy — 10 ft sticks standard in North America — and compare yield.

How do I set kerf for EMT conduit?

Measure once on scrap. For EMT conduit, fine-tooth saw 2–3 mm is a common starting point until tooling changes.

Conduit cutting calculator

Electrical conduit runs are 1D cuts from standard sticks. Enter stick length, segment lengths, and kerf for accurate pull counts.

How Cutlistor optimizes EMT conduit

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

Pipe calculator Tube calculator

Standard sticks

North American EMT is often sold in 10 ft lengths - enter what you actually buy.

Conduit takeoff tips

Same linear optimizer as plumbing pipe — different typical stock lengths.

Include bend travel in lengths if modeled
Group by conduit size
Separate EMT from rigid if kerf differs

Step-by-step EMT conduit linear workflow

List every finished EMT conduit length and quantity. Enter stock lengths you actually buy — 10 ft sticks standard in North America. Set kerf to fine-tooth saw 2–3 mm.

Run the optimizer and read stick count plus offcuts. Compare 10 ft vs 20 ft conduit 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 EMT conduit

EMT and raceway runs are 1D — list segment lengths per stick purchased.

Bend offsets can be included in finished lengths when your takeoff includes them.

Stock option	Typical use
10 ft EMT	Standard electrical stick
20 ft	Long homerun minimization
3 m metric	Metric conduit bundles

Worked example: conduit homeruns

Six 14 ft runs and ten 6 ft branches from 10 ft EMT sticks — read stick count before wire pull day.

Pipe calculator Tube calculator

Linear cut list optimizer packing EMT conduit lengths onto stock bars with a cut diagram — The optimizer packs your EMT conduit 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 EMT conduit 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 EMT conduit: checklist

Confirm EMT conduit 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.
