Large Format Workpiece

I’m planning to cut a Sandwich panel, which is made out of 46mm thick polystyrene, with 2mm fibreglass sheets on both sides (50mm total thickness).

The panel is 2.4m x 2.4m I am planning to make my frame bigger than the panel. My question is by how much. I’ll extend the belts with Dynema rope (that does not stretch). How much longer should I make the belts?

play around with this frame calculator

move the anchors until you have your panels in the green (or almost in the
green), then it will tell you how much belt you need.

currently, the maslow only supports rigid belt extensions, but if you have the
anchors raised so the belts are almost flat, the difference should be minimal.
