Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate waste for a Large Format Birch Plywood sheet (3000 × 1500 mm)?
Enter your cut parts with length, width, and quantity into the calculator. CutForgePro arranges them on the raw sheet (3000 × 1500 mm) to minimize cut waste, and displays the complete cutting plan along with waste percentage.
What is the kerf / saw blade width for sheet cutting?
The kerf corresponds to the saw blade thickness lost on each cut. For this sheet size, 3.2 mm is preconfigured. If your blade differs, measure the actual cut width and adjust it in the calculator.
Do I need to consider grain direction for this material?
Yes. This material features a distinct grain or surface texture. Disable rotation in the calculator for these parts to preserve the grain direction.
