Tool offset is the distance between the center of rotation and the blade tip, which affects how accurately the drag knife follows your CNC toolpath, especially around curves and corners. A larger offset allows the blade to pivot more easily, which can be beneficial for thicker or tougher materials, while a smaller offset provides greater precision for fine detail work. For example, the Donek Tools Creasing Attachment features a tool offset of 0.800in (20.3mm), ideal for creasing and specialty cuts. While standard drag knives in the Donek lineup are designed for general use, options like the creasing attachment highlight the benefits of offset variance, giving users more control based on the application. Several options are available to suit different needs regarding offset.
