Speed diameter and fine cutting rate

The 'fine speed diameter' and 'fine cutting rate' are optional fields, if you have a 'speed diameter' or 'fine cutting rate' of 0, then no fine cutting rates apply. If it's greater than zero, then any hole in a part that is smaller than this will use the fine cutting rate time.

Technical note: In the above, the use of the phrase "any hole in a part that is smaller than this" is comparing the area of the hole in the part to the area of a circle with a diameter of the value entered into the "speed diameter" column.

To add a fine 'speed diameter' or 'fine cutting rate' to an existing thickness, click the edit icon on the last column on right-hand side of the screen:

To add it to a new thickness enter a value in the field, leaving it blank will exclude it from calculations.

When this field is blank or set to zero, ToolBox uses the default cutting feed rate.

Enter a value and click update:

Pierce time

The 'fine pierce time' limit is an optional field f you have a 'fine pierce time' or 'fine cutting rate' of 0, then no fine cutting rates apply

To add a 'fine pierce time' or 'fine cutting rate' to an existing thickness, click the edit icon on the last column on right-hand side of the screen:

To add it to a new thickness enter a value in the field, leaving it blank will exclude it from calculations.

When this field is blank or set to zero, ToolBox will use the default pierce time.

Enter a value and click update:

Small holes limit

The small holes limit is an optional field, if you have a 'small holes limit' of 0, then no limit applies. If it's greater than zero, then any hole in a part that is smaller than this will result in a warning on the status of the part after you attempt to calculate it:

To add a 'small holes limit' to an existing thickness, click the edit icon on the last column on right-hand side of the screen.

To add it to a new thickness enter a value in the field, leaving it blank will exclude it from calculations.

When this field is blank or set to zero, ToolBox will not display a warning.

Enter a value and click update:

2800mm per minute set as the cut speed for any hole under 4mm.
Fine pierce time set to 1 seconds at any hole smaller than 4mm diameter.
A small hole limit has been set at 1mm
A hole has been detected smaller than 1mm
