Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re:Question, can you assist?

Also have the older version of the Shoptask. There is one way to do the size
part you want. That is to run the 11" dimension on a diagonal. Done that way
I have gotten enough travel to do a 12" part. Only works with CNC and long
skinny parts like you list.
