Get the Most Out of Your Compression Cutter for Nesting with Analyzer CAM




This lesson explains how to set up a compression cutter tool path for a nesting machine using Analyzer CAM software.

Firstly, it explains how tool path names are generated based on material type and thickness.

Then, it demonstrates deleting a previous tool path and creating two new ones for a two-stage compression cutting process suitable for MDF material on a flatbed nesting machine with a vacuum table.

The two tool paths include an initial cut that leaves a slight gap from the bottom of the material and a final cut that goes all the way through.

The lesson details various settings for each tool path including tool diameter, offset, depth, lead in/out, and more.

Finally, it briefly discusses setting up tool paths for pockets which are similar to compression cutting.
