SheetCut Optimizer - Carpenter

No free trial which is very bad and you guy needs to do something about it. I couldn’t pay it for a friend to try as he works on his projects

As a hobbyist woodworker, this seams to be a great help. My project needed two sheets of plywood. Well the layout for the first sheet of plywood was free. But, the second sheet was $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year with automatic renewal. For a flat fee of $4.99, OK. I’m sorry! I will go back to paper and pencil for 4.99 a month!!!

Maybe ‘cut level’ refers to wood thickness, but I don’t think so. Nor do I know what it means & there isn’t a guide available. Regardless, there’s not a field for stock thickness, so unless one intends to build with only one material, this app is either tedious (needing to create multiple lists for the same project, manually labeling thickness) or trash. My current project requires 2x4s, 1X3s, 3/4’ and 1/4’ ply but I see no evident way to differentiate the 3rd dimension. Nonetheless, I did try to create a list and run it but was met with, ‘please enter all dimensions,’ which I had.

This is a great app for sheet goods, easy and best of all simple to use.

Won’t waste my money when FREE online stuff does the same.

They want $50 a year to use their software which is patently egregious. You can’t set sheet thicknesses for projects with different sheetgoods. Grain orientation should be selectable per piece- not per project.

The app works well but the cost is way to much for a simple app like this.

Great program, simple easy to adjust and many options

You can download for free, then you PAY,PAY,PAY EVERY MONTH, You can’t buy a limited non-commercial use version! This is only for commercial use! I would pay for a 1-2 project version! But as a hobbyist it’s just not worth the recurring cost! On the Free trial I input 6 parts of 1 size,16 of a 2nd size. The layout left off 3 of the the 1st part, and 5 of the 2nd part. That was as far as I looked. I couldn’t trust this software and quit checking its accuracy. The total difference amounts to buying 3 sheets of plywood when it would require 4 to cut all parts. Also there is NO option to print the layout to so you can take to the shop to print the layout to cut parts. Developer didn’t like this review, they didn’t like the fact that I was looking for a hobby version to use! They did not read what was written,but read what they misunderstood! And if they had bothered I would have shown them their layout left off parts and they wouldn’t listen or care so I deleted it, so there is still a bug floating in there

Not worth it. Gives wrong measurements every time
