Rebar Cutting Optimizer

Paste a bar bending schedule and get the cutting patterns that use the fewest stock bars — with the waste percentage, a bar-mark cutting list the yard can work from directly, and a side-by-side comparison against laying the same schedule out by hand.

STEP 1

Your bending schedule

One row per bar mark. Edit the sample, paste your own schedule, or start from an empty table. Results update as you type.

Blade / shear loss per cut
Shorter ends are counted as scrap
Bar mark Diameter Cut length (mm) Quantity Line total (m)
Paste a schedule from Excel / CSV

One row per bar mark, columns in this order: mark, diameter, length (mm), quantity — separated by tabs, commas or semicolons. Header rows and blank lines are skipped. Example: B1  12  5600  48

STEP 2

Optimized cutting plan

Each diameter is optimized separately — a stock bar is a single diameter, so pieces are never mixed across diameters.

Cutting list by bar mark

Every mark in the schedule, checked off against the patterns below — nothing dropped, nothing short.

Cutting patterns

Cut each pattern the number of times shown. The hatched end of each bar is the offcut.
