By utilizing Tile Toolpaths in the Vcarve design software it becomes possible to achieve an infinite length for a project along the Y-axis. This process is referred to as "Tiling". The accompanying chart not only displays the travel area in the X and Y directions without tiling but also provides the distance from the machine's bed to the bottom of the Z-axis.

| SD100 | SD110 | SD120 | HD500 | HD510 | HD520 | |
| Y-travel (without tiling) | 13" | 13" | 25" | 25" | 25" | 50" |
| X-axis travel | 12" | 12" | 12" | 13" | 25" | 25" |
| Max thickness (measured from the deck of the machine to the bottom of the Z-axis) | 3" | 3" | 4" | 5.1" to 6.9" | 5.1" to 6.9" | 4.5" to 6.3" |
