CNC Outfeed Table
My one-car-garage-turned-shop doesn’t have room for a 4'x4' CNC router. I just couldn’t imagine finding the space and dedicating it to a machine that while useful, won’t see everyday use. So after racking my brain for a few weeks, I came up with a design that would not only allow me to bring a CNC into my shop, but provide me with some much needed outfeed and assembly area.
The key to this project is the hinged top, it provides plenty of room for the CNC in a discrete location and provides plenty of access to the work area. Bonus, I can start a cycle on the CNC, close the top and continue to use my table saw. Watching the router routine doesn’t eat up my precious shop time.
Design by Constraint
The form of this table was dictated by a few constraints. First, the lower shelf had to fit my 1,000mm-1,000mm X-Carve®, I rounded this to 40"x40".
