Planning my table set-up

Gallery Machine Setups

I placed my order (#11422) last month and have been thinking about how I want my table set up for the when the new Onefinity arrives. My current CNC is on a rolling Kreg workstation with the leg base of 36"x44". I plan to dismantle this system and buy another set of 44" rails to extend the footprint to 44"x44". I’m planning to use a 48"x60" piece for the top to mount the new machine on. That gives me a little room on the left side to mount my monitor stand for the 27" monitor and also some extra room to have my drag chain the control box and maybe a bit tray of some kind. I’m also considering re-drilling the legs to drop the center shelf down to house by DC all in one set-up.

Kreg workstation with maple butcher-block top. I will repurpose the top off of this when I make it bigger for the Onefinity.

Thoughts?

I just got a kreg 63x44 workbench for the same thing. It will end up saving me time and with lumber costs now. It is about the same price. I believe it is easy to customize with shelves and drawers for storage

Grant, I really like that Kreg table. I really want to build a table with a removable section so I can handle taller home decor items, but something like that Kreg table would be a great, fast starting point that would allow me to start using the machine much sooner, and the top could always be modified down the road to allow for a removeable section. Thank you for posting that photo of your current table - I wasn’t aware that existed and it seems like a fair price.

I am also getting ready to build my table for December arrival. I am worried about using casters. Will casters result in cnc “jiggling”. I know the cnc is solid to the table but wondering about backlash in ballscrews resulting from table shake. Any thoughts?

I have my current CNC mounted to this table n casters and I have no problems. Lake sure the casters are dual locking.

After a bit of thought and review, I’ve elected to use Kreg 44x44 as the base with Baltic Birch as top and shelf. I will likely build a lattice frame under the top in order to keep the top flat. I l will have some type of cut-out for vertical cuts like dovetail or finger joints.

Ken,
Do you plan to use a removable piece of table between the rails with a clamping system for vertical pieces?

That is the plan. I very much like the option for finger joints using the CNC. To do this, I will have to have a removable, and vertical support.

That will be interesting to see. Keep posting pics if you would.

Great Idea Grant,
I was going to leave a removable piece for “turning stock”. Now I will make sure it has depth all the way to the floor. great idea!

Really looking forward to see how you do the vertical piece. Love the idea of using the CNC for dovetails and box joints.

Not a bad looking table at all. For the space constraint, I use an articulating monitor mount (North Bayou) with vesa bracket to hold a fanless PC (backside of monitor) and keyboard/mouse tray. It has served me well and I plan to continue this for upcoming builds. I’m not too far away from receiving the Onefinity Woodworker and looking for a good “flat” solution to what I currently have. I may consider your table build.
