Need to index a sheet

[M & N Steel CNC]

I have a 4 x 4 table and need to cut a full sheet. I am assuming I need to split my design in corel draw and cut two different files indexing the sheet of metal. How do I split the corel design? Or is their a better way to set up so I can index, I use SheetCam and Mach3.

Ive had to index a few full sheets before. My method may not be the best. But i got the results i needed. I set up a set of stops on one side of my cutting area. That were on the same linear plane as the Z axis. That way i could move the sheet thru the table and not have to reset my Y 0 set. In my design i created a simple line that ran across the table, within a drop-out in the design. I cut one half of the design, indexed the sheet. From there i lined the center of the torch up on the line and went back to Corel and used the BoX tool and figured out the distance from the bottom edge of the design to the center of the line i cut. Once i had that i went into Mach3 and typed that linear into the X axis (moves up and down table). Since my Y (moves across table width) was set already. I was ready to cut. Turned out great.

I hope i wasnt to confusing. This method has worked great for me.

Good luck
