As stated above this is for when you want to maintain vertical grain on the backs of your cabinets, you do get a warning that the back is greater than the sheet size when you process it, but i think Microvellum/Toolbox should be asking you if you wantBorder Method: Setmill Location
You can set this to be left, right, top or bottom but I would really like to be able to set this so that the setmill location is always towards the center of the sheet so that each part remains connected to the main sheet for as long as possible. DoesWarning Messages

Hi, I'm curious on how I could end up doing "dogbone" joints on our countertops with the CNC or Point to Point machines? I'm sure someone has had this issue and has a solution.
