FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cabinet Making with MaxCut — Answered
Does MaxCut work for CNC shops or is it manual saw only?
MaxCut is designed primarily for manual cutting workflows (table saws, sliding panel saws, and track saws). However it can also complement CNC and beam saw setups. MaxCut exports DXF files which can be imported into your machine controller, allowing you to use MaxCut’s optimised layouts as the basis for your machining process.
If your shop runs a CNC router or beam saw with its own built-in optimisation, MaxCut can work alongside that rather than replacing it. Many shops use MaxCut for the planning, costing, and cutting side of their workflow.
