BEFORE YOU MAKE THE FIRST CUT
GOOD QUESTIONS.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
What can I use Kesim for?+
Plan cuts for plywood, MDF, glass, and other sheet materials, or lengths of timber, pipe, and extrusion. Set the blade kerf and edge trim to match your saw.
Can I actually cut the layouts it creates?+
Kesim uses straight, edge-to-edge guillotine cuts. It accounts for blade width and provides a cutting sequence. Always check your measurements and setup before cutting.
Does it work in inches and metric?+
Yes. Work in inches, feet and inches, or fractions down to a sixteenth. Metric too, if that is your shop. Kesim converts them so you can work in the units you know.
What devices does it run on?+
Kesim is built for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later. The workbench above is a small interactive preview of the cutting-plan experience.
How big can my projects be?+
The free version supports up to 10 parts per job. Pro supports larger projects, with a resource limit of 10,000 pieces per solve. Break very large jobs into manageable batches.
