    Control Panels - Getting Started

    I've been using our Heiz to cut Traffolyte control panels but have just bought a secondhand PNC-2300A to take over. I'm just wondering what the best workflow is?

    At the moment I've just got the standard Roland DR Engrave and 3D Engrave and we use Cut2D on the Heiz.

    I'm guessing the best workflow is something like...

    1) Engrave all the text with the depth regulator nose fitted and a 'V' tool.
    2) At the tool change remove the nose and swap to a parallel tool.
    3) Cut all 'through' holes.

    Any comments would be most welcome.

    The method you have described is exactly the way I would do it.

    CNC is only limited by our imagination.
