2800 × 2070 mm board cutting optimiser
2800 × 2070 mm (5.8 m²) is the large-format size used for melamine-faced chipboard, MDF and some decor boards in Europe. Kitchen and wardrobe makers buy it because a single board holds a whole cabinet or more.

- Rip 540 mm from the 764 mm × 1366.8 mm piece
- Rip 540 mm from the 764 mm × 823.6 mm piece
- Crosscut 500 mm from the 764 mm × 280.4 mm piece
- Rip 150 mm from the 500 mm × 280.4 mm piece
- Crosscut 720 mm from the 2032.8 mm × 2070 mm piece
- Rip 560 mm from the 720 mm × 2070 mm piece
- Rip 560 mm from the 720 mm × 1506.8 mm piece
- Crosscut 715 mm from the 720 mm × 943.6 mm piece

2800 × 2070 mm sheet at a glance
| Size | 2800 × 2070 mm |
|---|---|
| Also written | 110.2 × 81.5 in |
| Area | 5.80 m² (62.4 sq ft) |
| Kerf used below | 3.2 mm |
At almost 6 m² and 70–90 kg for an 18 mm board, these panels are cut on a sliding table saw or beam saw, usually by the supplier. The optimizer gives them exactly what they need: a list of boards, a numbered sequence of through cuts and a layout drawing for each board.
Factory edges on large boards are often damaged in transport, so set an edge trim of about 10 mm. Melamine also chips easily; a scoring blade or a fine triple-chip-grind blade gives clean edges, and the kerf is typically 3.2–4.4 mm on panel saws.
Decor boards with a wood pattern have a direction just like real veneer. Tick Grain on stock with a woodgrain decor and on parts whose pattern must run vertically; plain colors can be rotated freely for better yield.

How many parts fit on one sheet?
Calculated with the optimizer for a single sheet, 3.2 mm kerf and straight through-cuts. "Grain locked" keeps the part length along the sheet length; "rotation allowed" applies to MDF, melamine and hidden parts.
| Part | Size | Grain locked | Rotation allowed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base cabinet side | 720 mm × 560 mm | 9 | 11 |
| Wall cabinet side | 720 mm × 300 mm | 18 | 24 |
| Shelf | 800 mm × 300 mm | 18 | 21 |
| Cabinet door | 715 mm × 397 mm | 15 | 17 |
| Drawer side | 500 mm × 150 mm | 65 | 72 |
| 600 × 600 panel | 600 mm × 600 mm | 12 | 12 |
| 300 × 300 square | 300 mm × 300 mm | 54 | 54 |
