Have you ever needed to cut something just slightly bigger than your machine’s capacity? You might have all the space you need!
In this episode, Morgan made a viking chair on his Elite Series Woodworker, which has a 32x32 cutting area - yet both parts of the chair are 42” long. By designing, toolpathing, and cutting parts diagonally, you can maximize the capacity of your machine and cut larger parts.
Not just for this chair - this method is great for any project that exceeds your machine’s X & Y limitations. Follow along to see how!
