Click on the "Optimize" button in the setup
window. The optimizer will ask for some
additional optimization information. Enter
the minimum and maximum width of boards
to optimize with. Choose minimums and
maximums that will cover 90% of the boards
in your pack. Enter the number of boards
to simulate. When ripping for required
quantities, zero can be entered here. Enter
the maximum number of fixed blades the
optimizer can include in a solution. If you
only have four fixed blades, you don't want a
solution that includes five fixed blades. Click
the OK button and the software will optimize
the arbor and then simulate a production
run and produce a production report. When
looking at the report, look specifically at the
yield and the quantities of each rip produced.
When using a saw with movable blades, you
will need to click on the "Edit Saw" button
to see how the software arranged the fixed
blades on the arbor.
Yield Distribution Report
When editing a setup, clicking on the
"Yield Dist." button will produce a yield
distribution report. The software will prompt
for a minimum width, a maximum width
and an increment. It will then produce a
graphical report that shows what yield can
be expected from each width of lumber,
from the minimum to the maximum, using
the current arbor configuration. This report
is very useful in showing where a particular
arbor arrangement is weak and where it is
strong.
