Cutting
When entering the Setup menu the operator can adjust the following run-time parameters for Trial
Mode (no cutting), Oxy-Fuel, Plasma, Waterjet and Laser cutting.
Cut Mode
Specifies the current cut mode. Trial mode allows the operator to dry-run the current part program
without cutting.
Kerf
Specifies the amount of kerf (cutter compensation) that will be applied to the current part program.
Care should be taken when selecting a kerf value as this parameter can cause invalid geometries to
be generated. For example, adding a kerf of 0.5” to an arc with a radius of 0.25”. After entering a
kerf value, the kerf compensated cut path can be viewed by pressing the Kerf soft key under the Part
Options menu.
Kerf Variable / Kerf Value
The Kerf Variable / Kerf Value parameter is used to create a Kerf Variable table which assigns a
reference number (variable) to a Kerf value. Up to 200 variables may be entered to create a
reference table.
