Coming into this almost a year later so not sure how things panned out but, for what it’s worth…
I have both a Piranha FX and now Piranha XL. The FX has a 12" x 12" “capacity” and the XL has a 12" x 24" capacity. The backs of each are open ended so no reason a longer board can’t be placed on the bed.
I recently decided to convert some old scaffolding to mobile workstations, one specifically for small drillpresses to set each up for a very specific task. To reduced shop space I wanted to mount as many as four on a single shelf. To get them all on one board, including space for turning the handle, the board needed to be 36" wide x 11" deep. I also wanted the board to have slots for commonly used spare drill bits, allen wrenches, pencils, measuring tools, Star bits and more. In the end this is what the board looked like. Since I am very comfortable in SketchUp but have no idea or desire to how to lay out such a complicated piece in Vcarve. So… I draw everything in SketchUp and then import that file into Vcarve. Since this board was 36" deep and the XL capacity is 24" I make two copies of the 24" board, make each of those “unique”, paint them a goofy color to remind me they are unique and then cut each of them in half to 18" long. The lower I call “Lower” the upper “Upper”. To prepare for import in Vcarve I “Hide” everything in the SketchUp model
except just the “Lower” then save the file. I jump over to V-Carve, import the .skp file which only includes the “Lower” 18" section. In Vcarve I set the tool paths, save those paths as a .tap and save the actual Vcarve file. I then jump back to SketchUp, unhide the Upper 18", hide anything else, save the file and repeat the process above for Vcarve. When at the CNC I place the 36" board on the bed, align, lock down and then run “Lower.tap”. When done I slide the 36" board 18" forward, lock down and then run “Upper.tap”.
Sounds crazy but works very well. Used to run four 12" .taps on the FX to create 48" boards!
