Machine Sheets Face Down

Post by Nat Wheatley »

When I nest a sheet of slab door and drawer fronts, every part is treated as a filp op, as they all have machining on the backside (only). Is there any way that I could configure things, so that I could set the sheet of material on the machine, face down, and have all the operations performed with the initial outline cuts? (There are also pull holes that are drilled all the way through, and aren't 'side specific') Thanks.

Nat that should not be a problem, you are probably specifying a single faced board and therefore getting machine ops on flips, use a no grain or double faced setting for your boards (sheets) and the holes & other ops should machine in the nest.

Nick,

You're right, I was specifying single faced material, and changing that did the trick. Thanks for the help.
