STEP 2: SET FEED FORCE LIMIT
The Feed Force Limit is the maximum amount of force with which the head is allowed to push the blade into the
work-piece. (Feed force to be adjusted during head descent)
CUTTING SOLIDS
For cutting solids, the wider the section, the less FF should be set, to avoid blade overloading. See the graph below.
EXAMPLE: When cutting a solid which is 1/2 of machine capacity using the graph, locate 50% on the horizontal line and
travel upwards to the plotted line and then travel directly across to the vertical FF Setting line. The point that you have
arrived at shows a setting of 40% for a piece 50% of capacity.
CUTTING STRUCTURALS: A reduced Feed Force Setting is used when cutting structurals.
