![]() 5068 forum posts 3 photos | Some while ago I had a small program, free cut down version of a more complex program that allowed you to put in a cut list and then tell it how many bars and at what length and it optimised the cuts.
Problem is can't remember the name and a Google search just gets me to either disabled versions for use or paid for versions.
So knowing what a tight fisted lot Model Engineers are, |

It's on line browser based but no restriction that I have found and gave it 5 different items spread over 17 bars of material.
Good thing is it works on my phone as well Must be easy to use as i managed it without watching the video or looking at help. Edited By John Stevenson on 04/04/2016 20:24:56 Edited By John Stevenson on 05/04/2016 11:11:16 |
