With the left wall cut, I had it do the same to the right wall, and then zig-zag back and forth over the bottom, cutting it to length. I wanted to cut to the black line I marked in Sharpie marker - later extended accurately to both edges with a General Ultra Rule, but I didn't have enough depth between spindle, and Z column, so I just ran the code in two passes, moving the table to the final Y location before running the second pass.
I had homed Z to the sacrificial plate to which the extension leaf is clamped here, and not wanting to waste sacrificial plate on this simple thing, I had the Z stop 0.005" shy of 0, and just broke the last bit by hand, cleaning the edge a bit with a pass of an X-ACTO blade. The end result was a factory sharp edge, far more clean than it needed to be, as both ends would be hidden by the panel, and window frame.
