I don't have the machine yeat, it's on order. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what the machine can do so I can get a head start before even having it in hand.
I want to do several hobby ideas with it. I'd like to even make my own prop replicas if I can. Let's say we're wanting to make Han Solo's gun from Star Wars:

How possible is that? I know it can't cut it in a solid run. I'm fine with knowing I have to break it up to get a full cut. So the question is, can it actually do it? I'd imagine if you were to measure from one side to the other, you'd get around an inch and a half to 2 inches. Meaning you probably could cut one side at a time and glue it up if this machine works the way I think it does.
Here's a wooden gun someone made that I've seen online:
