I have a Shoptask, which I THINK is the same size as the newer Shopmaster.

I really can't get to the edges of an 11" part with mine, and if I could,
I would have no good way to clamp it.

It IS possible to increase the milling envelope on these machines, in the
Y axis, at least. See Chuck McGee at CandGResearch.

But you might still be left with a clamping problem.
