Aluminum extrusion cutting calculator
Plan profile cuts before the saw. Enter extrusion stock lengths, the parts in your frame or assembly, and the blade kerf, then review the solved layout before cutting.
Reading the bars: parts are outlined boxes · kerf is a solid black band · blocked zones are grey · drop has a dashed border · scrap is hatched.

Use it for Aluminum extrusion
Plan extrusion cuts profile by profile — T-slot, frame, window and door profiles, or custom dies. Enter your stock lengths and cut list, set the kerf of your non-ferrous blade, and keep reusable offcuts out of the scrap bin.
Aluminum extrusion cutting calculator questions
Can I optimize multiple profiles in one run?+
Run each profile separately — cuts from one profile can't share stock with another. Save each profile's setup as a project so re-running an order takes one click.
What kerf does a non-ferrous blade take?+
Most non-ferrous miter saw blades remove about 1/8 in (2.5–3 mm) per cut. Measure a test cut on your saw and enter that value.
How do I protect finished or clamped ends?+
Mark the first inch or two of each length as a blocked zone — clamp marks, anodizing rack contact points, or mill-cut ends get skipped automatically.
What lengths does extrusion come in?+
Stock dies commonly ship in 12 ft or 24 ft lengths (6 m metric). Enter the lengths you buy, plus any usable drops from earlier jobs.
