For me it is about cutting the cycle time on each part as much as I can and reducing tool changes as often as I can so that when I run a large plate of parts the total cycle time is as short as it can be. It does not bother me to have a 6 hour cycle time. But if it takes 9 hours to produce the same amount of product due to unoptimized tool paths, then that is wasted time that should be going to the next run of products. The X Carve is just tool for me to use for production. Trimming my cycle times is just a way to get more production on each mill. Everything that helps with that like job specific end mills, chip clearance systems, advanced controller and DSP stepper drivers… These are all just tools that help the XC work faster and produce a better end product.
