Plywood Planner

For ChatGPT and Claude

Plan how to cut your parts from plywood sheets with less waste.

Tell ChatGPT or Claude what you are building. Plywood Planner lays out the parts on your sheets or boards with straight, edge-to-edge cuts that a table saw, track saw or panel saw can make, and gives you a printable cut sheet.

A cut sheet: a 2440 x 1220 mm plywood sheet with numbered parts, their sizes and the offcuts

How it works

1. Describe the project

"A bookshelf from 18 mm plywood" or a list of parts with sizes and quantities. The assistant turns it into a parts list.

2. Get the plan

How many sheets you need, how much of them the parts use, the offcuts worth keeping, and the scrap.

3. Cut from the cut sheet

A diagram of every sheet with numbered parts and the cut order, step by step. Print it or save it as a PDF.

What it handles

Table-saw cuts only

Every layout uses straight cuts from edge to edge, so you can make them on a table saw, track saw or panel saw.

Kerf and edge trim

The width of your saw blade is allowed for between parts, and you can trim the factory edges first.

Grain direction

Mark the parts whose grain must run along the sheet, such as doors and visible sides. The others may be turned.

mm or inches

Sizes in millimetres or inches. Inches print as fractions, to 1/16".

Sheets and boards

Plywood, MDF and melamine sheets, or boards cut to length. One material per plan.

No sign-in

Nothing to create or install. Connect it once in your assistant and ask.
