Calculation of Ending Depth for Force Rotary Tool Use
|
|
|
Note: Use either the left side or the right side, based on units of
measurement for the Material Thickness. The units you've
selected in C3 does not affect the outcome.
|
|
|
Then carefully follow the instructions at the bottom of the
screen.

Instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Enter Surface Height found under Settings>Machine
Settings in C3.
|
|
|
|
2. Enter the thickness of the material to be cut (use left
side for mm OR use right side for inches). Do not include the mat.
|
|
3. Click
on the Update button below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. If Test shows
"Fail", reduce the Surface Height ( range: 0 - 300).
|
|
|
|
5. Change Surface Height under Settings>Machine Settings to match the Surface Height used above.
|
|
|
6. Use the Recommended Ending Depth value under Cut>Layer Settings.
|
|
|
|
7. For Starting Depth under Cut>Layer Settings, use Ending Depth divided by Passes.
|
|
|
|
8. When changing settings, increase Passes before increasing Ending Depth. Increase ED by only 10 at a time.
|
|
|
Do not exceed the Calculated Ending
Depth shown above.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Because manufacturers will round up material thickness,
use the Recommended Ending Depth for the
initial
|
|
|
test cut to avoid damaging the cutting mat. It assumes the
thickness is lower than manufacturer's specs.
|
|
|
If you have a caliper, measure the material thickness in several spots and use that
measurement
|
|
|
|
in the calculator. Then select a slightly lower ED than
the Calculated Ending Depth shown above.
