The Arcline cut chart as it ships: 7 rows of feed, pierce and kerf per material and thickness, 7 of them marked estimated until an engineer saves the shop's own figures. Aluminium 5083 is listed with no row, so no part can be drawn in it yet.
Cutting the nest for CUT-2: the Nest and cut screen reports the remnant 1180 x 760 mm consumed with a new remnant 1051 x 156 mm banked. The Stock ledger's Mild steel 6mm remnants line records the consumption then the banked offcut, leaving 1 in stock.

- Mach3 has its own post; other controllers take the generic G-code output.
- Usable remnants are booked back into stock as sheets the next nest can use.
