dimKerf
dimKerf is a term used in design and manufacturing to denote the dimensional kerf—the amount of material removed by a cutting operation that affects the final size and fit of parts. The concept is important in CAD/CAM workflows where parts must meet tight tolerances after processing.
In practice, dimKerf is used as a parameter in software and engineering notes to compensate for kerf
Kerf width is influenced by multiple factors including tool geometry, material properties, and process parameters such
Applications include woodworking, metal fabrication, and laser or waterjet cutting. For example, in joinery, engineers may
Limitations include kerf drift due to tool wear, temperature, and setup inaccuracies. Therefore, dimKerf is typically
