Overall cutting length - Multi-axis saws

 

Saw parameter to set the various cutting widths

 

 

 

- Enter the overall cutting lengths for a multi-axis saw.

 

For an angular saw enter the value for the rip saw and cross cut saw.

 

For a three saw system enter the value for the head saw, rip saw and cross cut saw

 

These values are used both to determine whether strips can be turned whilst cutting is in progress and to eliminate cutting patterns that cannot be cut.

 

 

Notes

 

 - 'Overall cutting length' on the 'Cutting 1' tab is not used for Angular saws and does not need to be set.

 

- The maximum length of a head allowed is determined by the cutting length of the crosscut saw on angular plants otherwise it is the cutting length of the rip saw.  If the depth of bed for drawback is less than the relevant cutting length this determines the maximum length of head. For example:-

 

Overall cutting length Rip saw = 4300

Overall cutting length Crosscut saw = 2200

Depth of bed for drawback = 4000

 

Maximum length of head on angular saw = 2200

Maximum length of head on single saw = 4000
