Wainscot Cut List

Wainscot Cut List is an offline-first stile-and-rail workbench for finish carpenters, trim crews, millwork shops, and serious remodel DIYers. Lock a real wall elevation into equal or custom panel bays, stile counts, and rail heights—then produce a shop-ready cut list before anyone touches the saw. No spreadsheets. No guesswork on equal bays. Enter wall length, stile width, rail heights, and panel targets; get a live elevation and a precise piece-by-piece cut list in seconds. LIVE STILE-RAIL ELEVATION See the full wall run left to right with top rail, bottom rail, optional intermediate rails, and vertical stiles drawn to scale from your live dimensions. Tap any stile, rail, or panel to open its cut card with mark ID, quantity, finished size, and notes for shop-floor call-outs. BAY ENGINE Set wall length, stile width, and either a target panel width or an explicit stile count. The app auto-distributes equal clear openings or locks custom bay widths and shows leftover and reveal feedback so proportions stay honest before you cut. RAIL STACK CONTROLS Define bottom rail height, top rail height, optional chair or mid rail, full-height vs interrupted stiles, and panel field height derived from wall height minus the rail stack. Stock presets cover stile/rail thickness and width, cope vs butt notes, panel type (flat or raised-field depth note), and reveal/margin around panels. SHOP-READY CUT LIST Get aggregated quantities and finished lengths for vertical stiles, horizontal rails (top, bottom, mid), and panel blanks with width × height. Add optional kerf and waste allowance so the list matches how your shop actually cuts stock. MULTI-WALL PROJECTS Save named rooms or elevations—foyer north, dining east, powder room—with independent wall lengths and rail schemes. Duplicate a wall to mirror an opposite run. Seed templates include classic chair-rail wainscot, full-height five-bay dining, two-bay powder room, and equal-stile hallway starters with realistic dimensions. UNITS BUILT FOR THE TRADE Toggle fractional inch and metric. Common finish-carpentry fractions step in 1/16 increments, and your unit preference sticks via on-device storage. SHARE WITHOUT ACCOUNTS Export a plain-text cut list of the active wall for printers or crew chat. Everything stays local—no account, no cloud required. Built for the moment between the tape measure and the table saw: turn elevation intent into labeled parts you can cut with confidence.
