Material
parameters
The settings for material parameters can be accessed via the
'Options/Material' menu
item.
Thickness of work
This is the total
thickness of the material being machined.
X and Y coordinates of
bottom left corner
These are the
absolute coordinates of the bottom left hand corner.
X and Y size
The overall size
of the work (X and Y axes).
Rapid clearance
The height above
the work to run the tool when moving between cuts.
Height of bottom
of material above table
Enter the distance the bottom of the
material sits above the table.
Note: This is a positive (+) figure as you are
specifying the 'height'. This
is used where the part requires a 'sacrificial board' under it in order
to machine it (i.e. a 'through' pocket or cut-out in a sheet of
material). SheetCam will let
you cut into the board but it will
not let you cut into the table.
Note: As with any input boxes you
can enter values in any measurement system. See
'Entering values' for more information.
