{%These parameters control how the machine cuts connections between profiles. Changing them determines whether the machine uses 1 or 2 (or more) punch operations per connection.%}
{%Rule%}: {%If the tool size covers the entire connection area, the machine uses a single punch. Otherwise, it needs two or more punches to fill the gap.%}
{%The "Connection Opening" is the gap between profiles that needs to be cut. For blocking (90°) connections, this equals the profile width. For diagonal connections, it depends on the intersection angle.%}
{%Single punch%}: {%Tool Size%} ≥ {%Connection Opening%} + 2 × {%Tolerance%}
{%Double punch%}: {%Tool Size%} < {%Connection Opening%} + 2 × {%Tolerance%}

{%Required = Connection Opening + 2 × Tolerance. The connection opening is the gap between profiles that the tool must cover — for standard connections it equals the profile width, for diagonals it depends on the angle.%}
