Feed in the parts a project needs and the stock lengths your yard sells, and the planner packs parts onto boards to cut waste and your lumber bill — before the first saw cut. Members can save cut lists to projects and feed them straight into the cost estimator.
Save your numbers, not just crunch them
Members save cut lists and estimates to projects, feed them into the cost estimator, and track real spend against the plan.
A common rule is 15–20% over the net board feet for hardwoods — more for boards with knots or sapwood you plan to cut around.
Packing parts onto boards on paper reveals whether an 8-footer or two 6-footers waste less — the savings usually exceed the cost of one extra board per project.
