Download the cut list template CSV file - 12 blank part rows - no macrosOne row per unique finished part
Record the part before trying to place it on a sheet. Keep stock allowances out of the finished dimensions so kerf, edge trim, and rough-milling choices remain visible later.

What each field is for
The CSV has 12 columns and 12 blank rows. Add more rows as needed, but keep the header names so the list remains easy to scan and import.
A short, unique label that stays with the physical part.
The cabinet, drawer, door, base, or other group the part belongs to.
The actual stock group used when parts are optimized or purchased.
The final rectangle dimensions, kept separate from kerf and edge trim.
The number of identical parts needed at that size and material.
The required face-grain direction and whether the rectangle may rotate.
Visible edges, mirrored parts, rough-cut allowances, or joinery reminders.
Use the template before buying sheet goods.
