Abstract
A method of processing material involves cutting pieces of material pursuant to a cut list and managing remaining salvage and defect pieces. A computer may be connected to a saw machine, and programmed to optimize cutting of stock to satisfy a cut list. An operator may input a cut list into the computer along with other parameters such as minimum salvage and defect lengths. A printer may be configured to automatically print labels for application to cut pieces.
