In fact, I had to shim one of the stops on the vise. The Y axis has 7" of travel and the part is 7" at the widest end. Rounding the corners will be tricky. Some of it will have to be finished by hand. I had a quote from a local shop to rough it out with waterjet and finish it on a CNC for around $650 as I recall. I'll have to live with the poor man's CNC... a corner rounder and a file.
With the way your stuff looks, it's going to come out great!!!
