I end up doing this all the time since my current small mill is limited

the vise so all I have to do is slide the part in x to get the dowel
pin aligned.

Thanks,

as stated, it's really easy because you just start a
Another cheat is mount a rotary table off centre (even outside the
normal xy envelope)
and then you can make larger parts, ok the gcode is not so simple
unless you are making a gear.

Yes, like a jig for cutting a guitar fretboard for instance.
Cut twelve frets, move the fretboard, cut six more.
I think I just need to make a spacer.
Thanks for the ideas.

This is probably an easy one but I'm stuck. I am a hobbyist using a
Taig mill. I want to drill a line of holes in a work piece that is
longer than the mill table. The holes are not equally spaced, they
get closer together along the piece. How do I stop the program,
reposition the workpiece
Perhaps more experienced hands will have a better idea, but here is how I'd
do it.
Make two programs, with the second program zeroing on the last hole of the
first.
When you clamp the second phase down, zero on hole, and check square with
program via one of previous holes.
Use the g10L2 etc

In any case, I would write two CNC programs, one for each half of the

Just to add a bit to what is all ready said (and I'm doing just that atm
on my BP with 42 long parts) I put a dowel in the spindle that matches
the nearest hole to the new work area and with the vise loose, Z down
and put the dowel into the hole to locate the part from a previous known
