This panel allows the operator to change certain characteristics of a cut.

Buttons

The activation status of the cut can be changed in the upper-left corner.

Enable/Disable cut Enables or disables the selected cut. NOTE A disabled cut is not executed by the machine.

Different versions of this panel are displayed according to the type of selected cut.

Disk cuts

When a disk cut, either linear or arc, is selected, the following panel is displayed:

Disk cuts are characterised by a starting point and an end point. The arrows define the direction of travel, from start to end.

The table below shows the buttons that the operator can use to change the cut characteristics:

	Reverse cut direction The operator can reverse the cut execution direction.
	Extension amount Changes the length of each cut extension.
	Calculate disk obstruction Recalculates the cut extension amount according to the disk diameter and material thickness so that it matches the disk obstruction.
	Extend cut Extends the cut by the length indicated by the extension amount. The left button extends the start of the cut, while the right button extends the end.
	Shorten cut Shortens the cut by the length indicated by the extension amount. The left button shortens the start of the cut, while the right button shortens the end.
	Extend start endpoint to slab edge Extends the start of the cut to the slab edge. The value in the box is used when the cut is to be extended by a certain amount outside the slab.
	Extend end endpoint to slab edge Extends the end of the cut to the slab edge. The value in the box is used when the cut is to be extended by a certain amount outside the slab.
	Extend short cuts If the selected cut is too short for the disk to penetrate the material completely, this button extends the cut, where possible, until it becomes a through cut.

Some data relating to cut execution are also displayed.

	Plunge Cut penetration into the material. The operator can change this value.
	Speed percentage Percentage of the set speed used to perform the cut. The operator can change this value. NOTE The speed percentage of arc cuts cannot be changed.
	Inclination Cut inclination in degrees. It cannot be changed.

Edit the cut from the work area

Selecting a cut in the work area and pressing the right mouse button opens a window for quickly changing the cut.

The buttons correspond to the functions already listed. The endpoint of the cut nearest to the point where the button was pressed is extended.

Internal arc cuts

For arc cuts whose curvature faces the inside of the piece, the disk obstruction during working may damage the side and must be taken into account.
For this reason, these cuts must be performed differently from external cuts.

Parametrix provides two modes for cutting internal arcs, selectable using the button at the top right.

	Inclined arc A dimensioned miter cut is performed. The appropriate inclination is calculated automatically.
	Offset arc The cut is performed without inclination, but shifted towards the outside of the piece relative to its correct position.

Each working mode has advantages and disadvantages:

• Inclined arcs provide a better finish on the final result, which therefore requires less manual finishing work.
  However, they place a greater load on the machine, so the working must be performed at reduced speeds and with multiple passes.

• Offset arcs are less demanding in terms of the load placed on the machine during processing, and can therefore be performed at higher speeds.
  On the other hand, the disk obstruction causes greater damage to the material and more material must be removed during manual finishing.

Holes and Milling

Workings such as holes and milling operations allow fewer changes by the operator.

Information is available for:

	Plunge Cut penetration into the material. The operator can change this value.
	Tool diameter The diameter of the tool used for the cut is shown.

Rims and Vertex Holes

Corner holes and rims are workings composed respectively of multiple holes and milling operations. When one of these items is selected, a list of all the cuts making it up is displayed.

The operator can enable or disable each cut individually using the button on each item in the list, or act on all cuts in the working at the same time using the button at the top.
The buttons below the list allow the order in which the individual cuts are executed to be changed.

	Move using arrows Allows the selected cut to be moved to the position above or below.
	Move to desired position Moves the selected cut to the position indicated in the adjacent text box.

In addition, the operator can change the working penetration using the field below:

Plunge Penetration of the cuts into the material. The operator can change this value. NOTE The plunge depth of all cuts making up the working is the same Changing this value changes the penetration of all cuts in the list.
