🧩 Unlock the potential of large-scale CNC projects with this comprehensive guide to tiling toolpaths! In this lesson, we'll explore how to create designs that exceed your machine's cutting area by breaking them into manageable sections. We'll start by examining the basics of toolpath tiling, including setting up a fence for alignment and using support stands for long workpieces. Next, we'll dive into creating and managing tiled toolpaths in Vectric software, covering everything from setting tile sizes to handling overlaps. We'll also explore different tiling strategies for various project types, from simple signs to complex full-sheet designs. Along the way, we'll share tips for precise alignment, efficient tool changes, and optimizing your workflow. Whether you're working with a small desktop CNC or tackling oversized projects on a larger machine, this lesson will equip you with the skills to bring your biggest ideas to life!
