Should I use two templates or three templates when getting
marking points?

When getting marking points, users need to decide the template number as actual

cutting demand.

•

Two templates can be used to adjust plate placing angle, and meet the demand

of most cutting scenarios.

•

Three templates are more precise and reliable.
