The feed is normally set to overstroke the next cutter to provide sufficient stroke length should there be an additional tie link at the join. Set the stroke so the finger returns and sits just in front of the proceding depth gauge.

The "Auto Detect" cutter sensor will not detect the following cutter if an additional tie link is present.
