I've used the Tormach PCNC 1100 to make instrument cutouts in standard 19" rack panels. The mill is limited to 18" travel in X, or maybe a little more with some limit switch adjustment, but my cutouts all fit within that work envelope. You lose about 1/2" on the side edges of the panel for the screw slots so the max available X length needed is right around 18" anyway. The bezel for the stuff I was insatlling in the cutouts also cut the available X length a bit, too.
Y travel on that mill is around 9-1/2".
