Made for the workshop

PlotBase is built around how woodworkers plan and cut.

  • Less waste

    Parts are placed to use as much of each sheet as possible.

  • No sums by hand

    Spacing, divisions, doors and drawers are worked out for you.

  • One list, not scraps of paper

    Sizes, grain, banding and allowances live in one place.

  • In the browser

    Nothing to install.

How it works

From a list of parts to a plan you can take to the saw.

  1. Step 1

    List the parts

    Enter each part with its size and quantity.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the materials

    Pick the board and edge banding, and the blade you will cut with.

  3. Step 3

    Get the layout

    PlotBase places the parts on sheets and shows the offcuts.

  4. Step 4

    Cut

    Follow the layout at the saw, one sheet at a time.

Less maths, more making.

Where PlotBase saves you material, time and missed dates.

  • Material

    Parts packed onto fewer sheets, the kerf counted in, and offcuts used before a new sheet.

  • Time

    No sums on scrap paper, no redrawing when a size changes, and a cutting order ready at the saw.

  • Clients and dates

    Measuring, cutting, assembly and delivery in one agenda, with reminders to follow up.
