Tension trim type

 

Saw parameter to set the type of tension trim to use

The pattern shows the cuts and area allowed for a tension trim, for example, 'Between strips'. The way in which the cut is taken (slot or edge notch) is not shown. The options are:-

 

None

Last but one rip

Betweeen strips - slot (CADmatic 3)

Between strips - edge notches (CADmatic 4)

 

 Select the method to use.

 

A tension trim releases the tension which builds up in the material as it is ripped. This avoids strips distorting when they are cut or the clamps are released.

 

Tension trims are shown on patterns and included in all calculations.

 

 

Notes

 

- Can also be set as a material parameter at both board and material level

 

- Saw parameter: Retrim on last but one cut required is no longer available for tension trims and is replaced by the tension trim type: Last but one rip
