Cutting lists thatcome out asmachine files.
Kerf takes the list a carpenter already writes and turns it into something a beam saw executes. Nobody at the machine retypes a measurement.
The angle you drag on screenis the angle that comes off the saw.
Somebody isretyping numbers.
Between the drawing and the saw there is almost always a person with a list and a keyboard. It is slow, and every mistake is a piece of timber.
Kerf removes that person from the loop and leaves them doing something better.
Three formats,one of them undocumented.
Better to publish the awkward detail than let somebody find it on a Friday afternoon. Hundegger BVX has no public specification, so one was calibrated against real production work.
Written and checked against the official schema before the file leaves.
No public specification exists. It was calibrated against the corpus above, and every release is checked against it.
Supported, same discipline, same corpus.
What it isactually used for.
Illustrative jobs, not case studies.
Drawn once, angled once, cut sixty times. The list and the machine file stay in step because they are the same thing.
The workshop opens it, checks it and runs it. No phone call about what kopmaat means.
The drawing changes, the parts change, and the saw gets a new file rather than a new argument.
Trials are open to workshops,not to everyone.
If you run a beam saw and you are tired of the retyping, name the machine and the answer will be honest about whether Kerf is ready for it.
