Hello all. glad to have your expertise at my fingertips!

Seems you would need some vertical index pins mounted on the bed where the piece could be moved in say 20 inch steps.

curtis this sounds interesting, i'm having trouble wrapping my head around registration and centering precut forms to be vcarved after the fact...

thank you gene, guess i'll google it.

Please pardon my poor excuse for artwork, but I have done this in the past. I have a 48x96 but have done several mantles that were in excess of my 96 machine. Russ
