Input Questions

If you enter only a length, such as 450, it is treated as one piece. Use 450-3 when you need three pieces.

You can enter several items on one line with commas, or put each item on a separate line. Labels are easiest to manage through CSV.

CSV Questions

The recommended header is SIZE,COUNT,LABEL. LENGTH, QTY, QUANTITY, NAME, and MEMO are also accepted.

If Korean or other non-English labels look broken, save the file as CSV UTF-8 or use the template downloaded from the calculator.

Result Questions

The calculator considers stock length, margins, kerf, and the offcut carry range. A result may differ from a manual layout because the blade loss and margins change what actually fits.

Turn offcut carry ON when you want to avoid awkward leftover lengths. Turn it OFF when raw material efficiency is the only priority.
