What you can track
- Enter parts fast — a fraction keypad built for inches (24 3/8" takes four taps), plus decimal and mm modes
- Add stock from standard presets — 4x8 plywood, dimensional lumber — or enter your own sizes
- Get an optimized cut diagram with engineering-style dimensions and grain arrows
- Blade kerf is drawn at its real width on every cut — with edge trim and a minimum offcut size you control
- Follow a numbered cut list: every rip and crosscut in order, linked to the diagram
- See waste, yield, sheet count, cut count, and material cost at a glance
- Reshuffle for an alternate layout when you want a second opinion
- Lock grain direction on the parts that show
- Switch units anytime — inch fractions, decimal inches, or millimeters — never paywalled
- Two drawing-table themes: Workshop (birch and pencil) and Blueprint (cyanotype)
