Type the desired dimensions of the piece to create, then click the OK button. Use the units pull-down selector

to choose between US (Inches) and Metric (Centimeters) measurements. Fractional measurements may also be

entered, such as “12 3/4” instead of “12.75”.

Due to Machine restrictions, the minimum size board is 6 inches (15.25 cm) long by 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) wide

by one half inch (1.25 cm) thick. The maximum board size is 144 inches (366 cm) long by 15 inches (38 cm)

wide by 5 inches (12.5 cm) thick. Note: Smaller board dimensions can be applied but the board will have to be

placed in a jig or Cut from a larger board when complete.

Once a board is created, it will display in the work window. The next section explains how to manipulate the

board.
