A cut list is a list of materials to be machined or cut via simple means. It includes cutting and drilling, whether by hand or by CNC - by saw, ironworker, CNC torch, laser cutter - whether in metal, wood, or other material.

To generate a cut list, determine what stock you have, and generate an itemized list of cuts to be made, including suggested method of cutting and other notes.
