Workshop-buddy is a free online tool designed to make your workshop life a little easier. We're currently in BETA, so you may find a few bugs here and there.

Tips:

Use decimal units and use the same units throughout

Save your project often (at the moment you can only save one project)

Please select below if you are interested in creating a cut list for sheet or linear material...

Blade width

Circular saw blades tend to be between 1.5 and 2.5mm - it should be labelled on your blade
