Abstract
A method for performing piercing preferentially on a laser beam machine by taking advantage of a capability to change laser machining tools automatically.

The laser beam machine is equipped with a means of selecting preferential treatment of piercing after nesting data is prepared by a CAM or NC system and performs piercing alone in favor of cutting by changing to a special-purpose piercing tool.
