Check These Out

AmbiCalc - a woodworker's calculator that works seamlessly in mm/inches (including fractions) and incorporates several cabinet maker features (mortise template calc, diagonal calc, cabinet parts list generator, solid wood costing). It takes the headaches out of working with a mixture of European and US machines.

AmbiSaw - Sheet material cutting optimiser. Create a cutting list on the iPhone and use the touch screen to drag the parts into position on the sheet material or let AmbiSaw fit them automatically or do both. AmbiSaw then gives cut by cut instructions.

CutList Plus
CutList Plus allows you to quickly generate cutting diagrams that make the most efficient use of your plywood and lumber. Calculate exactly how much material to buy for your project, and what it will cost. Spend more time in your workshop, less time drawing layouts.
