Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Selecting the wrong interpolation on a CNC plasma for inside vs outside cuts. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
