Hello John,

Net dimensions will cut the thickness of the edge banding off on the CNC.

For example, if you have a 600mm x 600mm finished panel with 4 x 1mm edge tape, the CNC file set to Net dimensions will be 598mm x 598mm.

Best regards, Isaac

Does this automatically take off the edging or do I go through and take it off manually

Hello John,

In you Post Processor options, you can choose either Net or Overall dimensions:

– Net dimensions: For no pre-milling, cut at finished size

– Overall dimensions: For pre-milling, cut oversized for pre-milling

Additionally, if you want to update the cutting list, go to Cut List>Cutting list options. Here, you can choose the same settings.

Hello John,

Are you sending your clients a cutting list, or DXF files?

Good afternoon, I have a client that uses an edge-bander that doesn’t pre mill for the edging!

 

I would like to find out how to change the methods quickly in order to swap from on to the other, one that takes of the edging and the other where the software takes of the edging to allow for it to be added on  

 

Many Thanks

 

John
