Is this rebar linear calculator free?

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

Can I use multiple rebar stock lengths?

Yes. Enter every stick length you buy — 12 m or 40 ft mill bar — and compare yield.

How do I set kerf for rebar?

Measure once on scrap. For rebar, shear or saw kerf per cutter is a common starting point until tooling changes.

How Cutlistor optimizes rebar

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

Bar lengths

Enter the stock length your supplier delivers - often 12 m or 40 ft equivalents.

Step-by-step rebar linear workflow

List every finished rebar length and quantity. Enter stock lengths you actually buy — 12 m or 40 ft mill bar. Set kerf to shear or saw kerf per cutter.

Run the optimizer and read stick count plus offcuts. Compare standard mill vs job-specific bundles 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 rebar

Rebar lists bend-to lengths on standard mill bars. Enter lengths after bend allowances your detailer provides.

Site cutters differ — measure kerf on scrap for your shear.

Stock option	Typical use
12 m	Metric rebar common
40 ft	Imperial mill length
Precut	When supplier delivers cut bundles

Worked example: foundation stirrups and runs

Sixty 1.2 m runs and forty 0.6 m stirrups from 12 m #4 bar — optimizer sequences bars for site cutting plan.

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

Confirm rebar 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.
