For kerf offset....it is best to get the quality dialed in to where you want it...then do a straight line cut using those specs and measure the kerf. This is because anything that you change, speed, height, amperage, air pressure....will change the kerf width. Once you measure the kerf, divide it by 2, and enter that amount for your kerf width in the setup files
