Been poking around getting the itch to build something,.. ya know?
While the machines I've been looking at/following builds of have various sizes of travel for the Zaxis, what strikes me is you're still limited by distance between the base of the router and the length of the bit. So like in the photo below, a tenan may be cut, but the length of the bit would not allow a through cut.
Is this something handled by longer bits and/or how do you deal with deeper cuts (especially if they're not through)?
