Saw parameter to set how strips are cut
Where patterns have several identical strips but (due to clamp positions or other restrictions) cannot be crosscut side-by-side it may be possible to stack the strips instead.
Check
the box to allow stacking
Stacked sets of strips are treated as one set.
If stacking is allowed and the pattern quantity is less than half of the maximum book height the program calculates the cutting time allowing for stacking where this is feasible.
In the above example if the strips cannot be crosscut together they can be cut as one set if stacking is allowed. The cutting time is reduced where the strips are stacked and cut as one set.

Notes
- Stacking of strips is considered only for patterns which have one cycle and where the pattern quantity is less than half of the maximum book height for the board.
- The calculation of cutting time assumes the time required to stack strips is included in the 'time to turn strips'
- Only identical sets of strips are considered for stacking. Strip widths must be the same and crosscuts must be the same for each strip or set of strips.
