 *'''Travel (X):''' The value entered here will set the acceleration for the X-axis when running jobs using this material. A lower value should be used with larger, heavier OD tubing/pipe. As an example: A typical value which could be all encompassing would be '5-10'. This would be applicable to up to 6" tubing with a 0.25" wall thickness. Many smaller OD tubing/pipe (0.75 - 1.25 OD) may allow for this value to be around '35'. Set this value to zero to apply the default located in the Factory Settings of the Machine Library (Default is 35).
-*'''Rotation (Y):'''
+*'''Rotation (Y):''' The value entered here will set the acceleration for the Y-axis when running jobs using this material. A lower value should be used with larger, heavier OD tubing/pipe. As an example: A typical value would be around '5' considering it will allow the material a smoother rotational ramp up and ramp down action. The lower the number, the longer the rotational axis takes to reach it's maximum cutting speed. Set this value to zero to apply the default located in the Factory Settings of the Machine Library (Default is 1: This value is indicating a 100% of normal value using a specific formula for determining Y-axis acceleration).

-*This Rotation Speeds setting sets the rate at which the chuck rotates during functions in a shift. This should be lowered with heavier, large OD material or in the case that you're using square or rectangle material with sharp corners. A lower rotational speed ensures that the rotational motor will not move too quickly and over-step the steps in the motor.
