MasterCam offers robust tabbing options to prevent cutout materials from separating during machining. Under "Contour Parameters," enable the "Tabs" option and click the "Tabs..." button to customize your settings. You can choose between full and partial tabs based on stock thickness, and determine tab position manually or automatically. Manage cutoff operations by selecting when tabs are removed—either after all contour operations or after each contour chain. These features ensure precision and control while machining parts, enhancing overall efficiency.
