Everything Brady is saying is true. Tuning makes a big difference when it comes to production. For one offs it's not a big deal, who cares if it takes 16 minutes instead of 14 minutes? But when running production, a few minutes here and there add up quickly. Altering your cut file to accommodated better tuning and keeping and loading different settings depending on the job you are about to run is a great way to find some time.

I took one job that required about 31 minutes to run a sheet. I redesigned the file to eliminate some of the smaller radiuses and tuned the ramp settings specific to the job and it now runs in just over 22 minutes. Huge difference when you run 10 sheets, almost 90 minutes saved! Well worth the effort. If I try to run other jobs with those settings the machine "bangs around" too much. If I run this job with standard tuning it takes about 25 minutes. But being able to alter my cut file combined with the allowed improved tuning paid off big.
