Hey everyone, as you may have seen from
other posts I've been working with the large material jig that will be available soon from Shopbot.
To make the jig work effectively, you need to setup your files properly. Right now I do this with VCarve using it's tiling feature. I worked up a little video on how it all works:
Watch it hereThe script I was talking about near the end is here freely available for download and tweaking:

There is one bug right now that if there is a missing tile in your directory (Say you cut out something large that didn't require a particular tile to be cut) the script will fail when it expects a file to be there that isn't)
I am working on some ways to fix it. Right now the easiest work around is to just save a blank shopbot file for the missing tiles.
