Precision cutting

Cut to your dimensions.

Keep dimensions, quantity, board SKU, grain direction and part identity connected from cutting-list entry through optimisation and review.

From board to component

Specify the finished size of every panel.

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

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.

Material

Choose from the published board catalogue.

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

Optimisation

Keep grain and matching intent intact.

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

Read the finished row

A size becomes useful when its material and orientation travel with it.

Use a stable part reference, finished length and width in millimetres, whole-number quantity and the exact board identity. State grain direction and matching intent before optimisation. Entry alone does not promise a tolerance, lead time or feasible cut.

A complete cutting row

Finished size is one part of an identifiable component.

Material, orientation and part identity travel with the dimensions so optimisation and review do not remove the meaning of the row.

Name the component

Use a stable part name that can also identify its label, drawing and any later support question.

Set finished geometry

Enter length, width and quantity in the supported units, with the intended grain orientation.

Select exact material

Choose the published manufacturer product and thickness rather than relying on a free-text colour.

Before optimisation

Check every component for complete production context.

These checks help prevent a dimensionally valid row from remaining operationally ambiguous.

Before you begin

A few useful answers.

The practical details, so you can take the next step with confidence.

Are dimensions entered as finished sizes?

Yes. The component list records the required finished length and width.

Why does every part need a stable name?

The name keeps labels, drawings, edge selections and support conversations connected to the same component.

Can grain direction be ignored?

Only where the selected material and project intent allow it. Grain orientation and matching information should be stated before optimisation.
