Large project, to big for my machine.

Hello everyone, I have a 88 inch project to cut. I have a 4 x 4 machine. I can cut it into two sections. But they need to
line up perfectly. Can anyone give me a topic link, or link to the tutorial on how to do this in Aspire?
Thank you
Mary

However the program may start cutting in the middle, but then jumps to the outside where the cut depth is 1.3. This is hard on my tools....

Map suggestions

Hi, I am making the map attached, using a 0.0625 bn bit. I am concerned that the bit is to big for the detail.

For example where there are lanes in the road the bit may eat into the lane divider.

Should I use a different bit? engraving bit?

Suggestions please.
