The parameters required depend on the Saw model. This is the first parameter on Cutting 1 tab. Click on the combo box button to see a full list of saw types. If the exact saw is not shown pick one that is similar.
For a sliding table saw, for example, there are only a handful of parameters to consider. For an Angular saw plant where assessing the cutting time accurately is important there may be several pages of parameters to consider.
Review the parameters in the list and set them according to the specific features for each saw. In many cases the supplier can provide parameter lists already set up for each type of saw and these can be used as a starting point.
The parameters are split over several tabs - the tabs available depend on the saw model set on the Cutting 1 tab.
