168 MaxMotion for Machines
Every time a job is brought to the Machine or Plot screen, the values set
in the materials menu for the selected material will show up in the final
Machine/Plot screen. These defaults can also be changed in the final
screen. However, the changes in the final screen will be temporary and
will be applicable only for that job. Changes applied in the material
menu and saved will be permanent.
Material Name
Shows currently selected material name. Under the material menu the
check mark next to the material name shows the currently selected
material.
Tool Speed
Both the engrave/rout speed as well as the Z feed speed can be set
here separately. Tool speed is the overall speed at which the engraving/
routing takes place. Z feed speed is the speed at which the cutter tool
comes down and enters the material. You will notice that the Z feed
speed for metals is much slower than for plastics. This will save you
from breaking cutters from entering metals too fast.
