Based on the title/excerpt, this post covers a 5×12 CNC router by outlining its key specs, sharing a machine/configuration file, walking through spoilboard setup (layout, surfacing, squaring, and workholding), and documenting the first job to illustrate the complete setup-to-cut workflow with practical tips and lessons learned.
What spoilboard strategy and first project would you choose for a large-format CNC like this, and why?
