Dear Mr. Colwell,  
 
normally, the overcut should be set in the plotter menu. But if your plotter does not have the possibility to change the overcut, you can do it with CoCut by editing the driver:  
When you see the CoCut dialog, press "Ctrl-Shift-P". You will then get the driver editor with the driver, you´ve selected before. Edit the field "Init String" by placing the command "(SM:p1,p2,p3)" in front of the other commands in this field.  
The first parameter p1 is for the angle (in degrees), which should be relevant for an overcut, the second parameter is the offset of the knife (in 1/1000mm). The third parameter p3 is not used.  
Example for an Initstring with SM-Command: (SM:30,45,0)IN;PR;  
 
Best regards
