i am running a cut ready program call the honda flange and my table cut it very nicely however, when i try to cut out my own image it freezes. how can i find the parameters that was used in that project. the gcode seems to not tell me much.
The G code has all of the information you need.
The Exhaust Flange file shows the following parameters:
Pierce height - .07"
Cut height - .02"
Pierce delay - 1 second
Cut speed - 60 inches per minute.
- the pierce and cut heights appear to be too low, but when you add the .040" that is added for springback and backlash on this line - G0 Z0.04 (IHS Springback + Backlash), they would be effectively .011" and .06".

thank you for the info. This is good reference material needed to analyze the Gcode.
I’ll post a breakdown of all of the important lines in that cut file, when I get back to my laptop.
