The clear version

What this part of DIY Joinery is for.

The cutting list records what each component must be when finished. It does not rely on nominal sheet sizes or unstated trimming allowances.

01

Part identity

Name and size every component clearly.

Enter finished length, width, quantity and a stable part name so labels, drawings and workshop conversations refer to the same item.

02

Material

Choose from the published board catalogue.

Material selection records manufacturer, product code, thickness and sheet format rather than a free-text colour description.

03

Optimisation

Keep grain and matching intent intact.

Grain direction and matching groups are validated before optimisation changes panel orientation or position.
