Chapter 9: Bits & Bit Selection

Cut Path

Cut path is a cut all the way through the board that will leave small tabs holding the cutouts in place so multiple

pieces can be laid out and cut from a single board. The board on the computer will not display the tabs so that

the nal product may be seen on-screen. Cut Path can only be applied to a closed vector or a path whose end

points cross the edge of the board. To create a cut select the desired geometry then press the ‘Cut Path’ button

from the ‘Tools’ menu or the Tools toolbar. The Cut-Out Control dialog will open.

Cutting Bit

The Cut-Out Control Cutting Bit may be changed from the default 1/8” Cutting Bit to the 1/16” Cutting Bit. If

the board thickness is beyond the maximum cut depth of the 1/16” Cutting Bit (0.250 in) then the ‘Accept’ will

become unavailable with a warning ‘Board Too Thick’.

Tabs

The tabs are calculated by the machine and as stated above will not show on-screen, but the minimum amount

of tabs, spacing and height can be dened from the Cut-Out Control dialog. The ‘Minimum number of tabs’

default is 3 but can be changed from none to 7. This setting tells the project no matter how big or small it is,

always have at least this number of tabs to hold the piece in place.

The ‘Tab spacing’ option sets how far apart the tabs from each other. For example, with ‘1 Tab/Foot’ (default),

a tab will be placed with 12” in -between before the next tab is placed.

The last option that can be set is the ‘Tab height’ option. The tab height is how thick the tab will be after

cutting. The thicker the tab is the more stable it will be when holding the cut-out piece in place. However the

thicker the tab is , the harder it will be to get the piece out. The default for this setting is 1/8”.
