<label xml:space="preserve">The kerf is the amount lost to the burning width of the laser.
Typically in the range 0.1 to 0.4 mm. Check with your laser vendor. This will depend on the material being cut and the speed of the laser.
Setting the kerf to 0 will create a box that will use the least material. However the material lost to the laser will make for a loose fit and probably require glue.
If the Kerf is greater than zero then you can have a calculated "Precise fit" or add dimples for a "Press fit".
A "Precise fit" will change the width of the tabs to allow for the material burned away by the laser and make a tight fit.
Dimples will add notches for a "Press fit" (see next tab)
The pattern will be spread out, using more material, because a common laser cut line cannot be used.

<page name="Usage3" gui-text="Dimples">
<label xml:space="preserve">Dimples are used so that a press-fit can be
made in deformable materials like wood.
If Dimple is checked then no "precise fit" kerf adjustment is made to the tabs. Instead a small dimple is added to each notch to enable a press fit.
- the dimple size is equal to the kerf size.
Dimples are useful for flexible materials like wood but are not good for rigid materials like perspex.
Dimple style is half rounds or triangles. Triangles are cheaper to cut, Half rounds fit better.
