MeasureToCut is a free online tool designed to help DIY enthusiasts, contractors, and hobbyists optimize their material usage and reduce waste when cutting lumber, pipes, bars, and other linear materials.
We believe that efficient material planning shouldn't require expensive software or complex calculations. Our mission is to provide simple, accessible cutting calculators that help you:
MeasureToCut provides cutting optimization calculators that solve the "cutting stock problem" — determining how to cut smaller pieces from larger stock materials with minimal waste.
Our Length Cutting Calculator helps you optimize cuts for linear materials like:
Simply enter your available stock lengths and the pieces you need, and we'll show you an optimized cutting pattern that minimizes waste.
We're working on a Sheet Cutting Calculator for two-dimensional materials like plywood, MDF, sheet metal, glass, and acrylic. This will help you arrange rectangular pieces on larger sheets efficiently.
MeasureToCut is developed and maintained by developers who are passionate about creating tools that make practical tasks easier and more efficient.
Our basic calculators are completely free to use. We support the site through advertising and optional premium subscriptions that offer additional features like project saving, unlimited calculations, and priority support.
