kerf comensation. and cycle of cut "pause"

hello.

i am now managing to cut out wing cores fairly close to target chords. i have found the pause function is not working for me.
a "stop" in the cut cycle with a resume start when ready would be useful.
having trouble cutting tapperd wings
i tried using "skin" for kerf compesation. but when i check the inverse box the picture in cut preview looks messed up. although the cycle of cut looks ok the wire goes off on a different path.

at this point i am making chord length adjustments till i end up with what i was expecting. ( or is this what i should be doing anyway).

slowly getting used to the basics of it.(tu)
