Building a frame

I want a frame that can get close to full cutting range when putting a 4x8 sheet of material. What frame should I make?
And making a lo ger too bar would mean lengthening the chains, but lengthening how much?

whatever one you want, possibly with a longer top bar (the stock frame can get
close to the full cutting range, it just is harder to be accurate in the bottom
corners with it)

And making a lo ger too bar would mean lengthening the chains, but lengthening how much?

If you are expanding your top beam, but not the size of the work area, just make
sure the chain is long enough to go over both motors at the same time, with 3-6"
to spare on each end (so a 12โ€™ top beam should have 12.5-13โ€™ of chain, a 14โ€™ top
beam 14.5-15โ€™of chain,etc)
