KerfGuide.Cut List & Cutting Plan Software

Cut list software.
A clearer cutting plan.

Create cabinet parts lists, optimise sheet cutting layouts and plan timber or steel cuts in your browser. Choose metric or imperial measurements, allow for blade kerf and keep your projects together.

A workshop plan out.

01 / STOCK

Choose your available materials

Add sheets, timber or steel from the stock library, or enter your own sizes. Set the quantities, blade kerf and trim for the stock in your project.

02 / COMPONENTS

Build your cabinets and parts

Start with a cabinet preset, enter parts or import a spreadsheet. Choose materials from your project stock, then adjust dimensions, shelves and drawers in the preview.

03 / OPTIMISE

Take a plan to the workshop

Compare sheet layouts, inspect the straight-cut sequence and see reusable offcuts. Export cutting data or print layouts and part labels.

Your cabinet.
Your construction.

Start with familiar sizes, then make them fit your project. The details that change the cut list stay in your hands.

Cabinets you can customise

Base, wall, pantry, basin and drawer presets, plus open-bottom robot cabinets and replacement panels. Review generated components in collapsible groups.

Drawer boxes, down to the bottom

Set runner clearance, box depth, individual drawer heights and bottom thickness. Preview the fit before adding the parts.

Sheets, timber and steel

Browse common metric stock sizes, then edit them to match your materials. Optimise sheet layouts and cut-to-length parts in the same project, with separate material usage and printable cutting plans.

Edging and grain accounted for

Work with finished or raw panel sizes, specify edging per side and control grain and rotation. Choose sheet usage, cost or cutting effort as your optimisation objective.

Before your first cut

Can I use an existing spreadsheet?

Yes. Paste a table or import a CSV or TSV file from Components. Preview the imported rows before adding them. Include panel width, height, quantity, thickness and material; you can also supply cabinet names, areas, edging and grain.

Will my work still be here when I come back?

The planner automatically saves a draft in this browser, including unfinished cabinet settings. Use Save project to keep project revisions, and export project JSON for a portable backup. Browser drafts depend on local storage; saved projects belong to your account and are available when you sign in on another device. Clearing browser data removes local drafts.

What should I check before cutting?

Check your measurements, material thicknesses, edging, blade kerf and hardware clearances. Layouts use straight guillotine cuts and show parts that could not be placed. Optimisation searches for a useful arrangement; it does not guarantee the absolute minimum waste. Cabinet previews are schematic, and sink cutouts and hardware machining need separate preparation.

Do I need an account?

Sign in with your verified Google account. Cupboard presets generate carcass parts; decorative cupboard doors and hardware are not included. Drawer presets include drawer fronts and configurable wooden boxes.
