Hey! I've finally built a replacement for this tool that I think is up to par. It includes some of your requests and should work well on mobile devices. Try out Cutlist Workbench and let me know what you think.


This calculator attempts to generate the most efficient cut list for a given set of pieces. Note my use of the word "attempts." There are several ways to solve this problem and several "correct" answers. This tries one way and gives you a correct answer. It's based on linear board-feet and so works only in the one dimension. I may expand it to handle plywood at some point in the future but don't count on it.
