Best practices when using DCF
Best practices include:
• Set user home 1–2 inches above the highest point of the material surface. This allows enough
clearance for rapid traverses.
• Keep the DCF bellows above the water level. If there are unidentified leaks, this keeps more
water from getting in.
• After you install the DCF, the footprint around the cutting head increases. Use fixtures to hold
your material, but make sure there's enough space between the fixtures and DCF.
• Firmly clamp the material if you are using contour following. Edge quality decreases when
motion in the slats or water surges in the tank cause the material to shift.
• Spray the material surface with clean water occasionally to eliminate abrasive and reduce the
chance of setting an incorrect standoff.
