diameter of the cutting wire, and the value is added to the slice thickness each time the table is
indexed into position for the next cut. Note that this addition is calculated and indexed
automatically. As a result, you specify the finished thickness of each cut and the kerf loss is
accounted for with this parameter.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys to indicate the number of cuts you wish to make.
3. Use the up and down arrow keys to specify yes or no, indicating whether each slice will be a
different width or if all slices in this program are to be the same thickness.
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to specify the slice thickness. If variable slice thickness was
selected in the previous step, then you are prompted to enter a thickness for each slice in turn.
The following steps 5 & 6 are for Dicing Saws only
5. Use the up and down arrow keys to specify an angle of rotation prior to the next cut sequence. If
you enter a non-zero value, the process continues with the next step. If you are performing only one
series of cuts, or if you are done programming all the rotational cut sequences desired, enter a value
of zero to indicate you are finished, and the process continues with Step 7.
6. Use the up and down arrow keys to specify an amount the table should linearly retract prior to
