How would you go about setting up a project for a tiling operation in CNC? As in the project is bigger then the CNC bed?
not sure if there is more to this question, but you can just set it up as separate jobs. can you provide a more concrete example?
Hello,
And thank you Steward for a great opensource tool. I also have question regarding tiling and decided to comment to this conversation instead of starting a new one with pretty much the same subject.
For context what I am trying to do: I want to cnc a plywood part that is about 1800mm x 300mm with my cnc which has only 1200mm x 1200mm work area. I Have room to overhang the stock from the work area only on the front side of the machine so I would have to first mill the other end of the piece then rotate it 180 on z axis and then cnc the other end.
What I (think) I would like to do in kiri:moto:
Limit the cuts to the work area of my cnc to create toolpaths for cutting the first end of my piece and to then create some symmetrical registration holes to near the y zero edge of the work area. Then be able to do something like the flip operation but on z-axis (on the g-code this should move the router to the back to get out of the way and them pause) and to then be able to create toolpaths to cut the outlines of the other end of the piece
My question is is there now any other way to achieve something like this than to cut my mesh in half and do separate programs for the halves?
I am new CNC owner and kiri:moto user so it is possible that terminology is not correct and that I have missed some obvious things 
At present I can’t think of a simpler or more clever way to do this than to split the mesh.
You might look into Gcode Ripper. It will take existing Gcode and can cut it into “sides” that can be done at different times.
Thank you for the replies, I’ll check out the Gcode Ripper!
