Ultra-Compact command will apply predetermined Ramp In and Ramp out feed rate and distance to blade cuts. Ultra-Compact also has a feature to do Tension Band cuts.

‘Use Relief Cut’ is a cut that will start at the opposite end of the cut and will travel into the cut by the amount set as the ‘Distance’ value in the Ramp In Field/box. See Figure A.

Set as ‘First Operations’ will move the cuts you select as the first operation.

Extend Cut Options give you the opportunity to extend Path Start see (figure B) or Extend Path End see (figure C) by the Blade Over Travel or any value you enter in the Distance field.

Tension Band applies blade cuts on a closed geometry. It is demonstrated on a rectangle that was offset in from the edge of the slab. It uses the ramp in and ramp out properties of the blade. Do not select the tension band geometry when tool pathing, See Figure D.

Compact Cut is a cut that will use the ramp in and ramp out properties on the cuts that you have selected. Must be applied after using the Auto Tool Path.
