2.0 Material Setup
Material should be laid out as flat as possible, either on the floor or table depending on how you set
up your fabrication area. With most material and especially thinner goods, it is prefered to pull out
the wrinkles or pull taunt. The use of sheet metal in or next to the machine on the table, allows for
the use of magnets to position and hold the material. Taping material taunt is a good practice.
To perform overlap welds, always overlap material more than the final weld width. Example: With a
1-1/2” weld width, overlap the end of material or run 2 to 2 1/2”. The machine and front guides will
push the material to the desired overlap. If the material is not overlapped or positioned properly, the
machine will not make the desired overlap weld. See sample below.
