My mother in law got a new oven. It was larger than the last one. I built the original trim for the microwave that sat directly above it and it needed to be trimmed to accommodate the larger oven. I had vent lines cut into the facia so when I cut it down to size, the remaining edges top and bottom were VERY thin. I had to relieve the back on this thin stock so it would inset in the hole. Previously I used a tablesaw but knew that would shatter the remaining thin piece.
Manual Mode to the rescue!
I used blue tape on machine bed and trim. Then superglued it in place. Installed the 1.5" fly cutter and lined it up manually. Z0 on the top of the stock, moved it off, dropped 0.2mm and set spindle to 10,000 rpm. Just ran it up and down Y taking off a sliver at a time. Snuck up on the final dimension and it worked great.
Sometimes, you don't have to use the software to make it work. Tim

I also clamp my boards to the bed and do a manual pass on the edge, since I don't have a jointer. I run the bit down the gutter between spoil board. Manual X+ until edge is clean. Works great.
