Additional Cut Depth

Easel comes with a very useful feature where you can have some shapes be cut deeper than others. This is helpful if your wasteboard is not perfectly parallel to gantry and you want shapes on one side cut deeper than other. It can also be used to make sure certain cuts go through. Another great use case is when you didn't cut all the way through - instead of running the entire carve again you can duplicate the workpiece and add additional depth just to the shapes that didn't cut, deleting or covering up other ones.
