Is there a way to change the material thickness at the machine ?

You can change thickness at the machine if you add materials. but things don't generally go well when you do this since the reference face is always against the spoil-board. I've done it for one offs, or just used the thickness that was very close, for Jobs where the change is negligible. BUT it is a bad habit and can get you in trouble pretty quick if you don't fully understand the effects.
