Using 1/4" diameter Router bit and distance between parts
Hello,
I am having issues with using a 1/4" diameter tool for cutting 1/4" thick material. We use a 1/4" downshear bit say Tool # T1332 to cut our G1S melamine. In the material file I have set the Code for this material as T1332|T1332 to override the tool selection to use the T1332 bit. The code spits out everything fine, except that the distance between parts is our standard .5625" set in our processing station "distance between parts". I am new to version 7 and am versed in version 6_7. In version 6_7 there was a saw kerf setting that I had at 0.5625" and it somehow calculated on the back end to add 1/16" to the tool diameter for part spacing.
Any ideas to reduce distance between parts when switching bits on panels. I know the work around in changing setting and re-processing. Hoping I am missing something easy.
