So, be practical. For the 5-10% of the parts that are too large for your machines, use other woodworking methods, techniques or even services. Remember, dealing with special needs and situations with your skill and experience are all part of the fun of woodworking.
For example, some of the furniture parts I make are 8’ long, but the majority I produce are under 6’. So, I figured a maximum length of 6′ would be fine for my CNC. For width, hardwood parts aren’t very wide, but I wanted a slab cutting machine wider than 2’ so I could mill large slabs, cut plywood sheets or cut multiple parts at once. I would have liked a 4′ width, but with limited shop space, I settled on a 3’ width.

The Useful Slab Cutting Machine
Single slab cutting machine available in many versions as to control system and to size; for cutting dimensions of up to 3500 mm height and 6 m width.
TOP INVERTER OR FIXED WIRE SPEED
Single wire saw for dressing blocks and cutting slabs. Has two main flywheels of large diameter (250 or 200 cm as to the maximum cutting height needed) to maximize the cutting speed and the life of the diamond wire. The wire tensioning system is hydraulic.
Single wire saw for dressing blocks and cutting slabs; similar to the above wire saw but fitted with a fully electronic control and tensioning system and with a PLC for automatic slabbing.
Single wire saw for dressing blocks but fitted with a 2-axis CNC system that enables cutting of two-dimension profiles as well as slabbing.
All the above machines can be supplied in the Roller or Gantry version; the machine on a track, and the blocks stationary.
Fast block-dressing system including one fixed machine and one Roller. Also includes a block carriage with a turntable. Allows two cuts at the same time at the required distance.
