Small tab left on flat bar

Post by Little Bit »

Hello
I have a small problem when I cut flat bar My jobs I lay 6'' .5 or .75 Flat Bar along side of each other 5 pieces mostly and cut across the X axes-es at 6'' intervals the leading edge gets cut all the way through the trailing edge there is always a small tab still connected on the lower corner and the pieces are still slightly connected I think I could fix it with a code snippet in sheet cam but don't now how.

Thanks
George

Do you use sheetcam with cutting rules?
If you do you can add rule - before end, not including lead out, slow to 50% 3mm before end.
You might need to play around with those figures but that catches it for me.
I use that when cutting above 10mm.

Why not cut 30" (5x6) that way the torch won't stop, slow down it will treat the 5 pieces as a solid piece.?
