Trim cut list calculator
Finish carpentry trim behaves like a linear cut list: many short pieces from fewer long sticks. A trim cut list calculator keeps you from opening extra bundles after the first miscut.
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.
Cope and miter reserves
Add small reserves in part lengths if your process needs back-cuts or minor adjustments—the optimizer will still show how stock is consumed.
