General Mach Discussion / How to calculate the kerf width for plasma cutting?
« on: August 30, 2007, 04:07:59 AM »
As you know, when cutting with plasma, in proportion with the direction of cut, the kerf side changes. So, when cutting CW the kerf should be outside and when cutting CCW the kerf should be inside.
Now my question is:
Can mach3 calculate the kerf automatically by a given value in a DRO?
If no, can i use different tools from the "tool table" to do it? (how does this table work?)
Any ideas would be helpfull...
