Nicely done! I have been putting some thought into how I am going to organize my bits, tools, clamps, etc. Looks like you have a great solution!

yeah have had that old shop table since high school wood shop needless to say its been around. Needed a new coat of paint drawers left open since its still drying lol
Hey, what are the dimensions for the tabletop to the top of the hose boom (with the hose on it)?

The Max height is 27 1/2",
I say Max because as the machine moves around the arm moves with it both left and right and slightly up and down. At its peak height with a 1.75" hose (adjust if you are using a 2.5") it is 27.5"
Hope that helps,

Man that table looks so nice! Did you build that from plans you bought or did you design it yourself?

Really nice setup! Noticed the touch screen off to the side and have seen several post on FB regarding breaking…thinking about going down that road.
Roughly based off of some other people’s plans I’ve seen online. I redesigned it on sketchup to match my needs and just went for it.

I mounted the screen off to the side because of the table flipping down and I mounted my Y rails backwards (motor forwards). The arm is at a set angle so not a ton of options for mounting. I will probably find a better placement for it in the future.
How is it folded up? Is the OF easily rotated up and down? Curious about possible wear on the pivots. Wonderful build. Is something I was looking to do for space saving.
My weekend project! I am just about ready for my onefinity… hoping it will show up sometime in November. For those of you who have done this build how did you do the legs on the front?

No there are tight fit they are very hard to pivot and with the brake on the casters nothing is moving, but time will tell when I received my OF.

My work space is extremely limited. Borrowing an idea from my Kreg ACS system, I ordered a leg set. It is rated at 350 lbs, so it should be capable of doing the job.

Love it. Let us know how it works out.

Well well well… After opening this thread in late June, I’ve had the immense pleasure to read many of your ideas for making a solid base. That, and many many many other topics. Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts, experience and advice!
Focus points
I focused my design on:
- Safety
- Noise-reduction
- Stability / durability
- Space efficiency
Given that I have my tiny workshop in the basement of an apartment block, I really have to focus on keeping things quiet. I don’t want to annoy my neighbors with more noises that they already have to endure from ‘that woodwork guy’. 
Also, I want to be able to use the table as a workbench for simple operations of e.g. my drill press, miter saw, glue-ups, assembly, sketching… The side-panels can hold tools like screwdrivers etc.
So, here it is!
Let me break it down…
I started with a frame of 40x40mm aluminum profiles. I picked this material because its price doesn’t differ too much from the hardwood I’d otherwise use, and I believe that it can better handle the harsh environment of my crappy basement. Also, I hope to move to my own house in the upcoming year(s), so this frame is super easy to dissemble and reassemble.
“Dennis, couldn’t you have put a bit more effort into drawing a proper Woodworker…?” Yeees… I know…
The Onefinity will be fixed upon one big plate of phenolic plywood. You know, this plywood with brown plastic layer… I think it’s called phenolic plywood.
So that plate is 24mm thick and measures 1500x1500 mm, which is also the footprint of the entire frame (excluding the feet).
All sides are insulated with a layer of 9.5mm drywall (white) and 45mm acoustic Stonewool (beige). Only the bottom will not be covered with drywall - only stonewool there. I picked these materials for 1) they don’t burn and 2) they dampen sound.
So that’s with the MDF waste board, T tracks, wooden side panels, phenolic plywood tabletop, and anti-vibration pads underneath the feet. And in the very top image you can see the front doors with 15mm thick acrylic glass windows. The insides of the doors are also insulated with drywall and Stonewool.
Oh, and as a cool gimmick, I was thinking about making a Plexiglass tube reservoir for the coolant of the water-cooled spindle…
Pricetag
All in all, I will spend just below EUR 800 on the entire setup (Onefinity not included). An incredible EUR 350 of that budget is swallowed by the two 1500x1500x24mm phenolic plywood plates… Suggestions for good alternatives are most welcome.
It is quite the price for a CNC table, but I accept it as it doubles as a large workbench and tool rack.
So… What do you think?

Hi Dennis very nice job! If you have access to it, MDF would be much less expensive than phenolic, though only 18mm or so. I’ve seen some really nice colored MDF called Valchromat that seems to be mostly available in Europe - Get Hands Dirty uses it a lot in her videos.
One thing I’d mention, the machine is very low to the ground. That’s really hard on your back when your moving materials in and out, and setting the bit location. Just something to consider.

For those of you who has a full enclosure, how far out does the dust boot brackets stick out towards the front when the x axis is all the way forwards? Thanks

On my list right after my table build. Looking forward to the answer, thanks for asking.
