FineCut

New Functions of FineCut8

1 Automatic split cut function
   
When cutting a thick substrate, cutting start or end position may be overcut, depending on the edge shape.
Therefore, FineCut8 can prevent substrates overcut by splitting automatically the cutline to control cutting in 2 steps from both ends of the cutline to the inside or from the inside to both ends.



2 Cutting Start Position Specifying Function
   
Cutting starting position can be specified according to the shape of the object.
When starting to cut a thick substrate, it tends to fluff.
Specifying the cutting start position on the corner of the object can prevent fluffing. Starting cut from a less conspicuous point can lead to higher quality finish.
