Fluting

Post by Joeshark »

Hi everyone. I am interested in fluting some trim for my house. I have done this before on my router table. this time I want to use the CNC machine. On the tutorial they run the flutes on the X axis. I have a extended bed on the Y axis. Can I run the flutes on the Y axis? This would make my 64" flutes work with two tiles instead of three. Is this possible? Thanks for all your help.
