If I remember correctly, you can import a JPG file into your software, but you will then have to draw all your vectors for setting up you toolpaths.

The starting point will remain in the same spot as the first one. You'll have to make sure the material moves just the amount you specified as the length of the tile, ie. 24X24 inches. The second tile will start at the same corner as the first one. Your XYZ settings will remain the same.

I used oak on mine and only surfaced it twice so far. The second time I re surfaced it I took off so little the cost of using them is quite low, in my opinion.

Welcome to the forum. You're about to have so much fun with your new machine. I have the Porter Cable 892 running on my Shark and it's done well for me. I thought I'd let you know my thoughts on what router to purchase. Have fun making stuff on your CNC and post some of the thing you make.
