Field notes
PanelPlan takes sheet dimensions, saw kerf, grain direction, edge-banding choices, and a part list, then produces layouts intended for edge-to-edge panel-saw cuts. The page says it reports waste percentage, running cut length, banding quantity, and usable offcuts over 150 mm. It also says calculations run in the browser, with entered dimensions stored on the device, and describes phone and offline use for workshop conditions.
