🧩 Master advanced tiling techniques and overcome CNC size limitations with this comprehensive guide to complex project execution! In this lesson, we'll explore strategies for tackling projects that exceed your machine's cutting area, including using alignment pins for precise tiling and working around spatial constraints. We'll start by examining how to set up and use alignment holes for accurate multi-tile projects, then dive into methods for cutting oversized designs when you can't slide material through your machine. You'll learn how to split designs for two-part cutting, flip and realign projects, and even create interlocking puzzle pieces for multi-section assemblies. Along the way, we'll share tips for efficient workflow, tool changing strategies, and design considerations for various tiling scenarios. Whether you're working in a confined space or tackling extra-large projects, this lesson will equip you with the techniques to bring your biggest CNC ideas to life!
