Saw parameter to allow for fixed set up time for saw
This value is allowed once for each pattern and should include an estimate of the time taken for the following operations:-
Saw setting time - Allow an average time for programming the saw per pattern. Some patterns may be more difficult than others to set up so allow a fair average. If the pattern is more complicated other elements of cutting compensate for this.
Removing stacks - If there is a shortage of space, you may have to clear the work area of the previous pattern before proceeding to the next pattern. This parameter covers only with operations that are a fixed overhead per pattern regardless of the number of boards to be cut for that pattern.
