Milling larger pieces on my Longmill

[ApexWoodworks]

This is probably old hat for those of you who’ve been CNCers for a long time… but it’s new ground for me.

I had to mill the 4 legs for a cabinet I’m making. Here’s what the front of that cabinet looks like on the CAD program I’m using, Vectric VCarve Pro:

But because the legs were all slightly longer than the 30" X or Y capacity of my mill, I simply oriented the piece diagonally at 45 degrees.

Of course, it worked like a charm and now I’ll be able to insert the curved end panels into the slot I’d milled into the inside faces of each of those leg sections.

@ApexWoodworks Nicely thought out and done, Marty.

Thanks! I’ll have to post photos of the completed credenza. Unfortunately that won’t be for a few months as we’re away on a vacation for a while.
