Aliexpress will definitely be cheaper than McMaster. Have to wait for it though.
I have used these guys for extrusion. They are reasonable and will cut and drill lengths. https://www.tnutz.com
Is there a link to the build plans for this?
Yes! And the 4th axis is flush with the spoil board. That’s a fine table, totally going to study that to prepare my own. Excellent!
Yeah, that was the idea, I mounted the 4th axis low enough that the centerline is in even with the top of the spoil board. That gives me a 4th axis capacity of a little less than 12" diagonal across a blank, but by the time you round off the corners that becomes about an 8" diameter cylinder.
It cost me about 6" of table capacity, but really 42" x 48" is plenty for my needs.
Did you manage to get all the plugs and wires through the 1” iron pipe? I planned to do that so I could place the Masso on the fixed cabinet section along with the power supply. But with the extension wires in hand I don’t think I can cram them all through the pipe
I’m going to do the same thing, and another 2" for vertical tenons, and another few inches for setting tools, because 36" x 48" is plenty for me… hhmmm, maybe the tools could go beside the tenon gap… I’ll be back…
New update. Have had my Onefinity for a week. All set up and ready for my first project
Started my Table Build for my Elite Journeyman this weekend.
My innate nature is to build Brick Shit Houses, so why not use 2x6’s… right! This is the base structure, I set the front legs back 8" to allow the piggies some room when working close to the machine. My current Woodworker the legs were straight off the front and I’d catch a toe here and there. I really liked Ed’s Elite Table Builds - #156 by Etienne145 build, I unfortunately do not have a ton of 2" Oak laying around like he did so dimensional lumber had to Get’er Done! I think my favorite part of his build was the 2 main rails under each rail idea, The middle of the table only has gravity and what your carving so a few supports should way over do it.
In the front right corner I’ve laid out a 10" x 22" space that will be a removable wasteboard so if I ever get the itch to do joinery I’ll be ready for it.
Other than that, the top will be a sheet of 3/4 Plywood then a 3/4" wasteboard utilizing Morgan’s wasteboard design. I’m kind of over the T-Tracks and I really like the combination of Dog Holes and Track slots so figured I’d give it a shot.
I’ll post more pictures as I got along but thought I’d share the foundation/start of the build.

Update after adding the joinery passthrough slot and a bit of finish/paint and casters.
Next step assembly!

Got her alive and working fantastic and looks sexy in the process. Still need to build sum blue cabinets underneath and then add some white accents to match my USA themed ummmmm EVERYTHING… lol
Next is the wasteboard which I’m kind of stuck on until I get the Makita wired back up.

Hi everyone. I share my solution to minimize the noise and prevent the enclosure from suffocating the dust collector. (inspired by recording studios) Generally what matters to stop noise is mass so I went with wood-rubber-wood / brick-woolrock. And in&out long breather covered with sound absorbing material
in-breather
fully open
with only the door open
same principle with dustcollector and the out-breather
(with an heavy door…)
outside the building you can’t tell if it is running or not
Man that going to be hard to clean and move around the OF… Just going with a Spindle drops the noise level way way down and no need for all of this.
I already have a water cooled spindle and for cleaning the accessibility from above has been enough for me so far… obviously I have to stand up on the table I understand that it’s not something everyone would do…
It just looks so messy?
I used a Kreg 64 x 64 table. Mine is fixed, but the Kreg locking casters are awesome. For the top, I went to Menards and bought two 36x72 butcher block island tops. I drilled six dowel holes in each but didn’t glue them together. I mounted some blocks over the seam on the bottom and screwed them in to hold it together. That way I can take them apart if I ever want to move it. This thing is HEAVY but very stable! I love this thing! You could engineer a removable section if you want to. Mine doesn’t have one, but I like the idea.
Same here… Not terribly special yet but does the job. I really want to get this folding up on the wall as it consumes most of a single-car garage. But with the stiffy, 2.2kw spindle and ATC, it’s a really heavy beast!
How has this worked? I am considering building a steel stand as well and cannot decide on tube dia and thickness.
Any thoughts?
The table has performed extremely well. The greatest difficulty is making sure it stays completely flat during the welding process. I used 11ga 2" square tubing.
