MDF cut list calculator
MDF panels machine predictably, but dust and weight push you toward accurate nesting the first time. Treat the job like an MDF cut list calculator plus layout: know each finished rectangle, quantity, and sheet size before you load the table saw or CNC.
How this maps to Cutlistor
Use the free sheet cut list optimizer to enter your stock sizes, parts, kerf, and optional grain or edge-banding notes. You will see nested layouts and can export a PDF for the shop.
MDF-specific tips
Double-check thickness (often ¾ in or 18 mm nominal) and whether you need paint gaps. Thickness mistakes show up late if the cut list only stores width and height.
