Cabinet Cut List Optimizer
Create a practical cabinet cut list layout for rectangular panels with quantity, labels, rotation control, and kerf.
Preset guide
Cabinet panel cut list preset
This preset is for rectangular cabinet parts such as sides, shelves, tops, bottoms, backs, and drawer parts. It helps plan sheet usage but does not design the cabinet for you.
| Setting | Example | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | Plywood, MDF, melamine, or panel stock | Confirm thickness and sheet dimensions. |
| Parts | Sides, shelves, tops, bottoms | Enter finished rectangular dimensions. |
| Rotation | Often limited by grain or finished face | Lock rotation where grain direction matters. |
| Edge banding | Planning note only | Verify banded edges manually before cutting. |
Cabinet workflow
Create the cut list from your design, verify part labels, decide which faces need grain direction, then generate the layout. Print the result and mark finished faces before cutting.
What to verify manually
StockCut does not validate joinery, hardware clearances, finished cabinet dimensions, or structural design. Use it after those decisions are already made.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Letting visible side panels rotate when grain must align.
- Forgetting backs, stretchers, shelves, or repeated drawer parts.
- Using the optimizer as a cabinet design tool instead of a cutting plan.
- Not checking edge-banding orientation before printing.
