Kerf Offset Example Finished Creations LightBurn Software Forum

Mutant_Pixel (James Darknell) September 8, 2023, 6:04pm 1 I've been using Lightburn a bit over a year now and I'm starting to make some mechanisms that require high tolerances.

LightBurn (Oz) August 18, 2020, 1:33am 2 If you added a +0.05 kerf to the slots, and a -0.05 kerf to the holes, that sounds like it would do what you need. You don't have to add it to both - you could just add a 0.1mm kerf to one of them, and leave the other alone, and that would work too. MH1644 (Mike) August 18, 2020, 4:59pm 3
