Variable notches

Enter CNC machinings

Click on "CNC Database" > "CNC Machining".

Select the system in which the notch is to be used.

Click the "Add" button to create a new entry for a notch.

At "Group Type", select "End Machining".

In the following you will find an example for the inputs of a variable notch:

At "Reference profile" you enter the profile to which the notch is to be applied.

At "Face" select "Face 4/5".

For "Face Right", select "Face 1".

At tab "1" you enter the following data:

• Type: Notch
• Reference Y: O1
• Reference End Y: I1
• At "Depth " enter the following formula: (x2-x1)+25.

The value +25 is used to determine the machining up to the transom axis.

If the value +25 is not entered, Logikal determines the machining to the lower edge of the transom.

Click on the "Save" button to complete the machining.
