1D Cutlist Optimizer & Bin Packing

Minimize stock lumber waste with greedy bin packing and saw blade kerf allowance.

CUTLIST & STOCK PARAMETERS

GREEDY 1D BIN PACKING
8ft = 96", 10ft = 120", 12ft = 144"
Standard blade = 1/8" (0.125"), Thin kerf = 3/32" (0.094")

STOCK BOARDS REQUIRED

2 BOARDS

Packed via Best-Fit Decreasing algorithm with kerf loss.

Yield Efficiency 71.9%
Total Saw Blade Kerf Loss 0.375"
Total Usable Scrap Remaining 53.625" (28.1%)

How this calculation works

Determine how many standard 8ft, 10ft, or 12ft boards you need for your furniture project, with full saw blade kerf accounting and visual board diagrams.

Formula: Greedy Decreasing 1D Bin Packing with Board Length = Σ Cuts + (Cuts - 1) × Kerf

Measurement Scope: Supports standard or custom stock lengths, kerf widths (1/8" standard to 3/32" thin-kerf), and multi-part cutlists.
