Title: Reached the limits of my mill this morning

A customer wanted his log slabbed with a live edge. Said the log was about 28" diameter. Not a problem. The problem was that the 28" was the small end. The other end was 33 1/2" at the center and there was a big split out of one side so my choice of my opening face was pretty limited.

I had to remove the chip deflector and the bracket for the coolant line so I could move the roller guides out as far as possible. I managed slabs that are just over 33" wide. I think the customer will be satisfied.
