Guys Just a thought, is it possible to cut shapes in to a 5x10 sheet continuously through with a 5ftx3ft router?? just thinking if it would be ok to cut as sections by aligning correctly and setting a 0,0 axis co ordinates so it flows through. will that work?? so e.g 5x10 sheet would be done in 4 sections and for each section you reset to 0,0. :-D obviously the bed frame wont have a front and back end on the bed just the sides, to allow to accomadate a sheet to feed through.

With a cutting area of 5' x 3' you would have a lot of board hanging over one side of the machine up to 7 feet which would require the proper support.
Wouldn't really be an option for me as I would be looking at building a machine big enough to take a 10x5 board if I wanted to machine material that big. I don't so it's not a problem for me.
