Tabs, Tabs and more Tabs

[twelchPTM]

I am cutting out just over 600 pieces at 1"w x 1/2"h. I need to add tabs to the tool path since the part is to complex for an onion skin. Also the location of the tabs need to be pretty specific again due to the complexity of the shape. Is there a way to set the location of the tabs on one and copy them to the other oor do I have to sit there and manually place over 1200 tabs?

Forget the tabs. Use the Vacuum Film Technique (http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11481)

this would be one of those moments where the solution seems so simple that I smack my own forhead and say "duh". Thanks Brady

it also depends on the material you are cutting and the bit size. you may not even need tabs or just thin tab.

No problem, Tom. Been there... Since you have vacuum, it should work out really well for you.
