This app saves me countless hours with a pen and paper mathing out my cuts. I do a lot of honey-do projects around the house and for friends. I input my proposed final pieces, and the app does the rest. If grain orientation is important I toggle the “piece rotate” option and back into it- or force the direction my altering my sheet dimensions. I really appreciate the blade kerf included in the cuts. Typically this is something I don’t allow for when matching with pencil and paper and it allows for a more accurate result.

I’ve used this app on a number of projects now and it takes some of the headache out of the project and drawing things up. Makes me think through everything a second time as I input things and does a great job optimizing. I even found a bug that I emailed about and it was fixed quickly and now works even better!

This little app is very useful helping you optimize your cuts for your project. It’s really easy to use. Hopefully the dev builds the capability to save projects cross devices. Each project is saved locally on the device it was created on so you can’t create a project on say your iPhone and then open the app on your iPad and have access to that project.

It’s a big help to not only figure how much materials to order but planning out your cuts. It would be nice to be able to add notes to the input pieces sheet. Like: dado notch, line bore, line bore both sides, etc. And a spot to specify piece location.Like: base cabinet sides, base cabinet top & bottom, loose shelf, etc
