No sign-up, no install. [Open the linear cutting calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/linear-cutting-calculator/) [Open the sheet cutting calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/sheet-cutting-calculator/) ## Minimize offcut waste A best-fit decreasing heuristic packs your parts onto stock bars so you buy less material. ## Print-ready cut lists Get per-bar cutting diagrams and a cut list you can export as CSV or print for the workshop. ## Private and free Everything runs in your browser. Your project never leaves your device. ## Pro cut settings Set the saw kerf, lock rotation per part to keep grain direction, and add edge banding — the details a real workshop cut plan needs. ## Reusable offcuts Save usable offcuts from a plan and feed them back in as stock next time — the linear calculator tracks leftovers for you. ## Import from Excel Paste columns straight from a spreadsheet or import a CSV file — dimensions, quantities and labels fill the cut list for you. ## Interactive cut diagrams The layout updates live as you type, with zoom, pan and a fullscreen view per sheet or bar. ## Free, in 19 languages Every calculator runs in your browser in 19 languages — no sign-up, no part limits, nothing uploaded. ## Wood & Lumber [All Wood Tools →](https://nestingcalc.com/wood/) - [Hoppus Volume Calculator (Quarter-Girth Rule)](https://nestingcalc.com/hoppus-calculator/) - [Log Volume Calculator (Huber, Smalian, Newton)](https://nestingcalc.com/log-volume-calculator/) - [JAS Log Scale Calculator (Japanese Agricultural Standard)](https://nestingcalc.com/jas-log-scale-calculator/) - [Timber Unit Converter (m³, BF, MBF, Hoppus)](https://nestingcalc.com/timber-unit-converter/) - [Board Feet Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/board-feet-calculator/) - [Lumber Weight Calculator (kg/m³)](https://nestingcalc.com/lumber-weight-calculator/) - [Green Log Weight Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/log-weight-calculator/) - [Stowage Factor Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/stowage-factor-calculator/) - [Container Loading Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/container-loading-calculator/) - [Sawmill Recovery Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/sawmill-recovery-calculator/) - [Wood Moisture Content Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/moisture-content-calculator/) - [Wood Shrinkage Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/wood-shrinkage-calculator/) - [Wood EMC Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/emc-calculator/) - [Kiln Capacity Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/kiln-capacity-calculator/) - [Rough Sizing Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/rough-sizing-calculator/) - [Firewood Calculator (cord, stere & m³)](https://nestingcalc.com/firewood-calculator/) - [Manufacturing Yield Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/manufacturing-yield-calculator/) - [Wood Glue Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/wood-glue-calculator/) - [Paint Coverage Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/paint-coverage-calculator/) - [CBM Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/cbm-calculator/) - [BOM Cost Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/bom-calculator/) ## Cutting Optimizers - [Linear Cutting Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/linear-cutting-calculator/) - [Sheet Cutting Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/sheet-cutting-calculator/) - [Plywood Cutting Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/plywood-cut-calculator/) - [Glass Cutting Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/glass-cutting-calculator/) - [Glass Price Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/glass-price-calculator/) ## Building & Renovation - [Tile Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/tile-calculator/) - [Wallpaper Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/wallpaper-calculator/) - [Flooring Calculator — Laminate & Vinyl Plank](https://nestingcalc.com/flooring-calculator/) - [Baluster Spacing Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/baluster-spacing-calculator/) - [Rebar Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/rebar-calculator/) - [Beam Load Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/beam-load-calculator/) ## Metalworking - [Metal Weight Calculator — Rod, Tube & Bar](https://nestingcalc.com/metal-weight-calculator/) - [Sheet Metal Gauge Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/sheet-metal-gauge/) - [Feeds & Speeds Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/feeds-speeds-calculator/) - [Miter Angle Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/miter-calculator/) - [RPM Calculator](https://nestingcalc.com/rpm-calculator/) - [Cutting Speed Calculator (Vc)](https://nestingcalc.com/cutting-speed-calculator/) ## Textile & More - [Embroidery Design Resizer](https://nestingcalc.com/embroidery-resize-calculator/) ## Latest guides [JAS Log Scaling: The Japanese Agricultural Standard Explained →](https://nestingcalc.com/guides/jas-log-grading-standard/) [Stowage Factor for Timber Cargo: IMO Ranges and How to Use Them →](https://nestingcalc.com/guides/stowage-factor-timber-cargo/) [FBM, Cunit, Stere and Cord: Timber Units That Matter in Trade →](https://nestingcalc.com/guides/timber-units-fbm-cunit-stere/) [Cube-Out vs Weigh-Out: Which Limit Stops Your Container First?
