Not Enough Y-Travel?

Mostly for benefit of other amateur machinists.

I need to cut some pieces from a 6"x6" CFC plate.  At first glance, I did not have enough Y-travel to get to the near edge of the plate to zero the Y axis.  Nor could I cute this plate in half on the chop saw because there was no obvious way to clamp it down.  How did I do this last time?  I added another spacer block to get the spindle far enough from the column.
