Sheet-Goods Cut List, Kerf & Practical Guillotine Plan

Turn two repeated rectangular part families into two inspectable kerf-aware sheet schemes, then compare rotation, grain lock, reserve and an honest area lower bound.

How many sheets do two simple repeatable cut schemes need?

Measure the actual sheet, reserve the damaged edge margin and saw kerf, then calculate one repeatable strip scheme for each part family. Rotation may reduce sheets, but the result is a practical bounded heuristic—not a global optimum or a machine instruction.

Method

For each family, usable sheet dimensions are divided into full kerf-separated strips and pieces. If rotation is allowed, the higher-capacity orientation is chosen. Families stay on separate sheet schemes so the plan remains easy to follow.

Important limitation

The tool handles two repeated rectangular part families only. It does not mix offcuts, inspect defects or grain, optimise many sizes, prove a global optimum, generate CNC/DXF, or replace guards, support, a cutting diagram and an operator's safe sequence review.
