Journeyman X50 Setup

Hey Bob,

@Bob_D

I’d like to build before the machine arrives but I think I better wait and get my own measurements once I put it together.

yes, since that could be a little risky. People reported reported that e.g. the Dust Boot protrudes far forward.

Also when the question came up, in matters of Cnc Table Hindsight 20/20, what lessons have you learned that a new customer might find helpful? If you built it again what would you change?, I read the following and understood it immediately and remembered it well for my future plans:

@cyberreefguru

I really wish I could walk around my machine. I only have access from the front and leaning over to get to the back of the machine (clamps, clean, etc.) is quite the pain in the ***.

Also some people did build a table for Onefinity Woodworker, but while there were waiting for the arrival of the machine, the Onefinity Journeyman was released, leading to discussions like:

@OnefinityCNC

We recommended at least a 72x49" table top.

@wonkasan

Man, now I need to add 1 inch to my 72x48 table top. /grumbles in Klingon

So what I kept in mind then: When I canceled my order for a Onefinity Woodworker X-35 (32″×32″ workarea) in favor of ordering a Onefinity Journeyman X-50 (48″×32″ workarea) when it was suddenly released, and I was happy to not have build the table already, I’ve decided while I’m at it to build a table for Onefinity Master X-50 Y-50 (48″×48″ workarea) right away.
