Profile Cut Planner

Profile Cut Planner Plan profile cuts, reduce material waste, and create clear cutting layouts for linear materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, and similar stock. Enter your stock/profile length, saw kerf, damaged ends, and required part lengths and quantities. Profile Cut Planner calculates practical cutting plans and helps reduce unnecessary offcuts and profile usage. Key features • Cutting optimization for linear profiles and stock • Waste optimization for more efficient material usage • Saw kerf and damaged-end allowances • Metric and Imperial units • Fractional-inch input and display • Part quantities, cut angles, names, codes, tags, notes, and job numbers • Individual and grouped cutting results • Utilization and waste information for each cutting pattern • Clear segmented cutting diagrams • PDF cutting reports • Save and reopen projects • Stock and remnant management with Pro • Inventory-first planning with Stock Mode • Import and export tools for part and stock data • Material separation for different profile/material types • Light and dark themes • Multiple interface languages • Fully offline calculation and project data Designed for real workshop use Profile Cut Planner is designed for fabricators, metalworkers, aluminum profile users, carpenters, installers, production teams, and anyone who regularly cuts linear stock to length. Unlike a simple length calculator, the app accounts for saw kerf, damaged profile ends, usable stock length, and remaining offcuts. Cutting layouts can be reviewed before material is sent to the saw, helping reduce mistakes and unnecessary material consumption. Metric and Imperial workflow Work in millimeters or inches depending on your workshop standards. Fractional-inch values are supported for users working with common workshop fractions while calculations retain accurate internal values. Projects and stock Save cutting jobs and reopen them later without rebuilding the part list. With Pro, you can manage full-length stock and reusable remnants. Stock Mode can prioritize available inventory before new full-length profiles are used, helping make better use of material already in your workshop. Part information Parts can include additional production information such as: • Part name • Code • Tag • Cut angles • Notes • Job number This makes cutting plans easier to identify and use in workshop and production environments. Clear results Review results individually or as grouped cutting patterns. Each plan shows material utilization and remaining waste, together with visual segmented cutting bars that make layouts easier to understand. PDF reports Generate organized PDF cutting reports for workshop, production, or job documentation. Reports include cutting information, quantities, layouts, utilization data, and page numbering. Free and Pro The free version allows one saved project. Profile Cut Planner Pro unlocks unlimited saved projects, stock and remnant management, project duplication, and an ad-free experience. Offline by design Cutting calculations and project data work without an internet connection. This makes Profile Cut Planner suitable for workshops, factories, installation sites, and other environments where reliable connectivity may not be available. Profile Cut Planner helps you plan cuts faster, use stock more efficiently, and reduce material waste.
