CUT 1.1 is a shareware app. that works quite well but only in sys. 9
DJK
thanks. I just downloaded it. Gary
Gary, I run system 9 and os x on my Mac but I was unable to find "CutList Pro searching on AOL. Please give us the majic words to enable a down load and tell Cincinnati he can install system 9 on his Mac and choose whichever system he needs to use.
For PCs only, it is cutlistplus.com ..... sorry I phrased it CutList Pro. It's Plus.And Cut 1.1 for System 9 Macs is on TuCows as shareware.If you have Virtual PC for your Mac you can run CutList. Cut 1.1 is a pretty anemic program, but it does the job and is simple. First, set up you specifications such as sawblade kerf width. Then punch in how much wood you have. Then you start you start creating you parts list by entering dimensions of the parts. You do this only once for multiple parts ---- say for 11 drawer fronts/backs etc. --. Then you get a drawing of the ply sheets with the parts all structured on it. CutList Pro has a few advantages. The cutting diagram has more sex appeal. Instead of simply little outlines you get full color schematics. And the program inventories your wood, runs a tab on total board feet, etc.Like Rodney Dangerfield, us Mac users get no respect. Darn.Gary Curtis
74extiger,
Are you sure about Cut 1.1 being available at TuCows? I just tried to find it there, and no love. This makes two nights of searching for this mythical software. Do you have a link?joejoe
It is on the woodweb site

Anyone know of one for new Mac with OS X?
Cut 1.1 is for OS 9. It's amazing no one has come up with such a program. I just returned from a WW seminar in Calif with Mark Duginske. Even the pro cabinet makers in the class do their cutlists with a pencil and graph paper. What would be great if someone who's a power user on the Mac could write a cutlist utility that would work with excel or some ubiquitous program which everyone owns already. I know that several people in the class want to bash heads when in the course of woodworking, someone tells them : Just learn this computer program! Or worse, Just buy this other kind of computer. Hell, learning the woodworking is challenge enough.Arghhh! As they say in Pirates in the Carribean.Gary Curtis
