Jimgerken, i used to work at companies with plenty of connections at cutting shops, either they had their own lasers, or i had to order laser cut parts from a supplier every week, so its easy to put something with the order (no adjustment and startup costs) and pay my own few parts when picking them up after work.
At the company i work now, all fabrication, welding and machining is outsourced to a subcontractor in Slovakia, where hourly wages are half of the wages here. (same contractor also welds for Volvo and Liebherr, so we have to if we want to stay competitive)
So paying the parts straight, without a bill, isnt going to work.
How much did you pay for the NC table ? does it require nesting software ?
So do i get you right when i understand that your NC table has only a single speed on the X and Y axis movement, so if you cut at a 45 degree angle, both X and Y axis will move at 100% speed, resulting in 133% cutting speed ? (according to pythagoras, a2+b2=c2 ) ??
This sounds contradicting, as it would make cutting round holes impossible (only a multitude of 45 degree angles) ??
please explain ???
