StockCut — Cut List Optimizer

Stop working out cut lists on the back of a delivery note. Tell StockCut the lengths you can buy and the pieces you need. It works out which piece comes off which bar, in seconds, with as little offcut as it can find — and it counts your saw blade, which is where hand-written cut lists go wrong. WHAT IT DOES • Works out how to cut the job from fewer bars • Accounts for kerf — every cut eats blade width, and ten cuts at 3 mm is 30 mm • Shows each bar as a diagram, so you can read it at the saw • Tells you the offcut left on every bar and the total waste percentage • Warns you when a piece is longer than anything you can buy, instead of quietly dropping it METRIC AND IMPERIAL Millimetres, centimetres, metres, decimal inches, and fractional inches. Type 1 5/16" and it takes it — no converting to decimals in your head, no rounding errors creeping into a job. BUILT FOR THE SITE, NOT THE OFFICE • Works with no signal. Everything runs on the phone • No account, no sign-up, no password • Your jobs are never uploaded — they stay on your device • Large type and big touch targets, for reading with safety glasses on • Share a cut plan as an image or a PDF — send it to the apprentice, or print it WHO IT IS FOR Fabricators, welders, metalworkers, carpenters, timber framers, shopfitters, window and door installers, fencers, and anyone cutting from linear stock: steel tube, box section, angle, flat bar, rod, rebar, aluminium extrusion, timber studs, skirting, trim, pipe, and conduit. Use it as a cutting calculator for steel, wood, pipe, rod or aluminium. If you buy material in fixed lengths and cut pieces from it, this saves you material on every job. HOW IT WORKS 1. Enter the lengths you can buy — 6 m bars, 8 ft studs, whatever your supplier sells 2. Enter the pieces you need and how many 3. Set your blade width 4. Tap Optimize You get a plan: bar by bar, cut by cut, with the offcut on each. FREE StockCut is free and supported by ads. There is no subscription, no trial, and nothing is locked. Ads are kept deliberately light — a banner, and an occasional full-screen ad after you tap Optimize, never while you are entering a job. WHAT IT IS NOT This is a 1D linear cut list optimizer. It solves bar, tube and length cutting. It does not do 2D sheet nesting for plywood or plate.
