A rectangular board can be loaded on to a machining centre in two ways.

Lengthways

Either way

Widthways

 

Either way - allows the board to be loaded in either orientation

 

The choice can be affected by whether the board is grained and whether 'short rip' patterns are acceptable.

 

Board sizes - the program takes the values of the length and width from the values that are stored against Length and Width in the Board library so the 'length' may not always be the longest side.

 

Notes

 

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