I know this video is almost a year old, and I'm a little late to the party,but I wanted to say thank you very much for posting it. I learned more watching this 12 minute video than I have in watching several others. I really like your presentation style. Using the screen-in-screen method to demonstrate exactly how you created the file, tiled it, saved it, then relocated your workpiece after cutting tile 1 really drove it home for me. Lots of presenters assume that their audience already knows about half of what they're demonstrating. Your style gets the info across without being condescending, nor making assumptions. Thank you very much for that.

Nice presentation. The only caution I would add is that by using a "guide" to maintain a constant X reference, you are relying on the edge of your material (not the guide) to be perfectly square the entire length of all the tiles. Any slight variation in the material is going to offset all the cuts between tiles by that amount. In a table leg cut out, it might be possible to sand out the "jog" that will appear at the edge of each tile. But on a carving, the jog will appear on every vector that crosses between tiles. Insuring that kind of 'squareness' is pretty hard to do even using a table saw with a cut that long and where you are relying on a high degree of accuracies on a complex CNC carvings across tiles. You can drill two "x" and "y" guide holes anywhere in the material and the spoil board as long as the "Y" is the same tile "Y" distance from the original origin. Then you are not relying on a perfectly square edge along the entire length of the material you are cutting. The dowels insure very high accuracy across all the tiles.

If your stock does not have a straight side and you don't mind drilling into your spoilboard you can use two reference holes in the part and matching ones in the spoil board, then insert dowel pins before clamping.

Hmmm, before I found your Excellent work, I had an idea to drill two locator holes STRADDLING the interface edge between a fixed reference and the workpiece: half in each, the Perfect (calculated) distance apart. Then, when time to move, I'd slide the workpiece along the fixed reference using, as you did, a cutter bit for the alignment. I've done that eyeballing/rotating thing, but was always worried that I was stressing the bit/adding error. My particular problem is a large topo map that has to match up on X, Y, AND Z along the boundary. Thank you. Agree with the others: you're a natural teacher.

'+TheGeekPub It is quite a while since I did this video and can see why you are asking because it does look like there is a gap but it is an optical illusion.

I also see that when I removed the part I can see the holding tabs but no evidence of an uncut section. I also mentioned that you can barely see the join of the 2 cuts. When tiling there is no gap unless the registration between the 1st and 2nd cut is wrong. Cheers Peter

A spin off to Littlestworkshop is to make some special hold down claps with pins on the bottom. You have them set so that when you take them off or on they are to a fixed point X,Y. With two of them spaced out on you table you can step you work down the table. Just a thought.

Vectric VCP version 11: Peter this technique finally caught up with me at 81 years old. Thanks for your video. I have a project to make a 88” diameter ring that is 6” wide, it will be in six sections. My CNC cut area is X 48” and Y 37”. This is cut out of sections of 4x8’ 3/4” plywood. I am arranging four sections in the first of two tile cut, then move the material in the Y direction and finish the cut. In your example you cut one piece in one file using one index hole. Could I highlight all four pieces and just use one hole and cut the four lower sections then move to the the index hole and finish the upper sections, all in one file? Is my assumption correct?

There is no eyeballing the cutter into the hole. It is a matter of leaving the material loose and putting it onto the cutter then aligning the sides by feel which is very accurate over the long distance.

Hi Kevin, The machine is a homemade Joes NC Hybrid. It is rack and pinion drive which is where it gets its speed. The original build was leadscrew and topped out about the 40ipm mark but upgrade to R&P and it idles at 100ipm. The limiting factor now is how fast the router can cut the material not how fast the machine can run. Interestingly the machine still uses the same 270ozin motors I bought for my first large machine years ago but upgradeing the driver to a G540 and then the R&P really changed how things work.

No. To cut a peice longer than the table you need to use tiling as shown in this video. Tiling toolpaths are special in that it creates incomplet toolpaths. The long piece needs to be cut with 2 incomplete toolpaths with the 2nd toolpath completing the cut. In the train project which i assume you saw earlier I was cutting a complete pieces. Don't know if it makes sense but flipping will not work for cutting a piece longer than the table. It will work for cutting matrial longer than the table. cheers Peter
