Saw Kerf Compensation Calculator
Calculate how much extra raw stock is required after blade kerf is included in a finished cut list.
Saw Kerf Calculator
Required raw stock: 48.125 in
Kerf loss: 0.125 in
This does not fit once kerf is included.
Example: two 24 in panels from a 48 in sheet require 48 in plus one blade kerf. With a 1/8 in blade, that is 48 1/8 in, so it does not fit.
Workshop planning notes
Tools commonly used with a cut list
Review your blade kerf, clamps, measuring setup, stock support, and protective equipment before cutting. This informational block is intentionally separate from the input table, Optimize button, layout viewer, and export controls.
What StockCut does
It creates practical rectangular sheet and straight-stock layouts with kerf, labels, waste, offcuts, cut sequence tables, and print-friendly output.
What it does not do
No accounts, cloud save, CNC, DXF, G-code, angle cutting, circular parts, triangle parts, polygon nesting, enterprise inventory, or AI cabinet design.
Privacy model
Cut lists are processed in the browser. Autosave uses localStorage. The tool does not upload or cloud-save your project data.
