This may not be the best place to post this, but it does have to do with engraving so here goes...
I've been looking at CNC bed dimensions and I have a question regarding the most versatile size to accommodate various large material pieces with a smaller bed.
Keeping this simple, lets say I am looking at a 2' Y by 4' X (24" by 48") CNC. The largest in width I can place is 2' Y (24").
However, lets say I have a 4' Y by 2' X (48" by 24") CNC. The largest width I can feed is 4' (48").
Why would anyone buy a 2' Y wide bed when you could buy a 4' Y wide bed, and feed 2' X at a time with proper supports a much larger piece of material?
