Detailed Operation 4-7
4.3.7 Overcut
The Overcut submenu enables you to generate an overcut in order to facilitate weeding the
cut. Each time the knife goes up or down, the cutter cuts a bit further. Figure 4.3 below
shows what overcut does with a tangential knife. A sample cut-out with a drag knife would
show fewer overcuts, since there would be fewer up/downs (usually only one per
curve/letter).
The overcut setting can be disabled (=0) or set to any value between 0(=off) and 10. One
unit is about 0.1 mm or 0.004 ".
