Test Cutting; Setting Cutting Conditions - Roland EGX-30 User Manual

Test Cutting

The EGX-30 can perform test cutting to check whether cutting conditions are correct. Test cutting is also recommended to
determine optimal cutting conditions, such as the compatibility of the material and tool, and the cutting speed.
If the results of test cutting are less than satisfactory, refer to " About Tools and Materials" and " Setting Cutting Conditions"
and redo the settings.
It may be a good idea to use a blank area of a piece of material or an extra scrap for test cutting.
