4-2. Setting the Cutting Parameters
Types of Cutting Parameters
You can make the settings for the following five cutting parameters on this machine.
• Spindle rotating speed
• Feed rate in the X- and Y-axis directions
• Feed rate in the Z-axis direction
• Cutting-in depth (Z1)
• Amount of cut-out during feed while raised (Z2)
You can make the settings for these either on the machine by using the menus, or by using the program. When you make
a setting both on the machine and in the program, the program's setting is the one that takes effect. This means there is no
point in making the same setting both on the machine and with the program.
Differences in Setting Items Between Programs
Programs may differ in how many of the five cutting parameters they let you set. Some programs may allow you to make
the settings for all five, but with others it is necessary to make some of the settings on the machine. For information about
what settings must be made on the machine, refer to the program's documentation.
Also, with some programs for solid, three-dimensional cutting, flat parameters such as the cutting-in depth and the cut-
out amount have no meaning.
