Super Simple CNC Table | Onefinity X-50 Woodworker | Easy Workbench

[@DoingWhatever]

Hey all! If you're interested in making this same workbench, I have downloadable plans available here → gum.co/znzpe

[@mikehoffman4567]

Thanks, used your plans to make a table for my Shapeoko 4x2. The machine did seem to cause a little racking when it moved in the Y direction so I added a diagonal cross brace to each side of the table and that helped.

[@daniellecopeland]

Thanks!

[@DoingWhatever]

Woah thank you for the super chat!! You’re so kind!

To those normal size people out there, this table is much taller and bigger than it appears when this guy stands next to it! He must be very tall. So I just followed his plans. HIs plans are very good and helpful. Converting it to just plain inches instead of feet and inches would have been the icing on the cake. I am a 5'10" average height kind of guy and this table almost comes to my chest. Even the opening from the first shelf to the top is very large. I am happy this it is kinda tall cause I can very easily put my other other equipment under the table. I figured it might have been tall but I couldn't think far enough ahead for an easy solution to adjust for height. For those interested in shortening it the simple solution is when the table is turned over and you add an extra pair of legs to shorten that by about 3-4 inches. Cause thats what the top is going to sit on when turned over. That would also cause the legs to be higher than the table top which can be useful to utilize. Thanks for making the plans available! I didn't have to think about a thing and thats exactly what I wanted. It was worth it and it is very reasonable sturdy. Okay, I came back to edit this. Nothing is more humbling then building a table meant for a tall person. I'm assuming according to this video and from the looks of it this guy is about six-foot-four. I am only 5 10 which is 6 in away from 6 ft 4. After building the table I realized that if I would have chopped off 6 in off the legs or foot 6 inch blocks on the legs to rest the table top on and then flip it over that would have been good and it would fit me at the same ratio as this guy. So if you are 5 7 you need to chop off nine in off of the leg or add 9-inch blocks of wood to the legs and rest the table on top of that before you flip it over.

Quick thought that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Did you ever think about putting the CNC on the bottom shelf and then making it into an enclosure? I'm considering doing this has my one finity woodworker elite will be delivered today in a little bit. I have the original woodworker like you do there but I decided I wanted the masso and such. I got their holiday deal for Christmas when they first announced it that has the ATC and everything.

[@kateohara4666]

Great video! I just got my journeyman and debating building or buying a table. This may have swayed me into building a simple one first to at least get up running.

[@DoingWhatever]

Thanks! Yea I just wanted to make something quickly so I could start using the cnc and I can always add onto it later.

[@RockhollowCNCServices]

Great video. Thanks. If you get a minute could you measure how high your 1f is in its highest setting? Thank you

[@DoingWhatever]

Thank you! Do you mean just raise the Z axis all the way up while remaining in the middle mounting holes?

[@wesleylayman4309]

I built the workbench per the plans. The legs call for 3 foot 6 inch. I have found this way too tall for the total hieght with the recommended casters installed and the 3/4 playwood top. The total height is almost 46 inches. I recommend the legs being cut to only 3 ft.

[@hv1461]

Thanks for bringing that up. If you don’t mind me asking, how tall are you ?

[@DoingWhatever]

I appreciate the feedback Wesley. I hope other than the height of the workbench, everything else went smoothly? I'm about 6'-1" so sometimes I forget to consider people that are shorter than me lol. I will think of a way to amend the plans to allow for some height adjustments in case other want a shorter workbench like yourself. Thanks again - I truly appreciate the feedback!

[@veronicagrover2411]

I just made this table not realizing it would be way too tall for me… what’s the easiest way to shorten it?

[@TheAyotteMan]

@@DoingWhatever I was just about to download your plans but then came to the comments here. Have you made any changes to your plans to accommodate shorter people? I’m 5’11” on a good day. Maybe it won’t be that much of a problem.

[@tko6196]

Where did you get the tubes for the vacuum hose frame that looks clean.

[@DoingWhatever]

I bought them from Rowdy Roman on Etsy - he's got a few really awesome items for this machine 😃 www.etsy.com/listing/836980394

[@tko6196]

Thanks for reaching out.

[@mrkevans13]

what are the dimensions of this table?

[@talegunner4414]

Did you consider using pocket holes on this build?

[@DoingWhatever]

I didn't, but I don't see why you couldn't! I think they would work just fine

[@hv1461]

When in use, the table sits on the casters with the brakes on ? Is that stable enough ? Would there be a way to lower the table onto the legs when in position to use ?

[@DoingWhatever]

Correct, it sits on the casters while in use with the caster brakes on. In my use so far, I haven't found this to be an issue. I don't run my machine to it's limits yet since I'm pretty new to CNCs. but I imagine where you'd start to see movement is when you are running at a high feed rate and constantly switching directions. Instead of lowering the table onto the legs, you could add some adjustable feet under the legs and adjust them down when the table is in use. Or you could get the casters that flip down to move the table around and then flip up once you are done moving the table.

[@hv1461]

Is there a straightforward way to convert this into a table that can raise and lower by a foot or so ? I can imagine that being very useful as one dials in all the setup and ergonomics with using the CNC.

[@DoingWhatever]

The first thing that comes to mind would be to use a sit/stand desk base, but that's going to be pricey. Hmmm... that's a good question, I might have to sketch some ideas out!

[@nobledizzigns]

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this video! I followed it exactly to build my workbench and your other video to set up my Journeyman! 🙏🏽 I think you mentioned you ordered a wireless controller off Amazon vs purchasing Onefinity’s. I did the same thing but can’t get the Amazon controller to move the CNC. Was there something you did to make yours work?

[@DoingWhatever]

Fantastic! Glad the videos were helpful! Yea I just ordered the Logitech one on amazon, link is in the description, and plugged the receiver in the back of the cnc controller box and it worked. I didn't have to do anything special. did you buy the Logitech one?

[@mrkevans13]

Hi, i might be missing it, but I don't see a link to this project for dimensions?

[@jimcampigotto9961]

His top is 4 ft x 6 ft found it on comments on his other video, but website shows no plans, hope that helps.

[@mrkevans13]

@@jimcampigotto9961 I made the table 50 x 72 and while that works, it’s still not perfect. Especially if you want to build an enclosure over it to contain the dust and noise. Also the monitors are meant to mount onto the cnc Y gantry on the left, but again, if you want to build an enclosure you will not be leaving the screen attached.

[@DoingWhatever]

Hey Mark, sorry for the delayed response. I haven’t had a lot of shop time lately but I’m hoping to release the plans this weekend. Seems like youve already made your table, so again I apologize for not helping/responding sooner. Hopefully it’s working well for you and you’re enjoying your cnc machine 😃 take care!

[@theebalz]

What is the minimum size of table top you would need for an X50 Journeyman then??

[@DoingWhatever]

Outside to outside of the feet says 60” on their website. This is a 4’x6’ table top so you have a little wiggle room in both directions if you buy a journeyman.

[@timfrost689]

Looking for plans

[@DoingWhatever]

If you click on the video description, there’s a link to download the plans 😃

[@thuannguyen3261]

Thanks for the video. Just a quick question. How flat is your table top built? Are you having any problems with the table being twisted and the cnc machine?

[@DoingWhatever]

No problem! I haven't had any issues with the table top not being flat. I just made sure the frame for the top was as flat as possible and then installed the 3/4" plywood on top. If you're concerned, you could probably do a double layer of 3/4" plywood on top (glued together) and then you would have an even more stable top. hope that helps!

[@misury]

The tabletop only needs to be relatively flat if you're going to use something like a sacrificial board like MDF. Then you just run a flattening bit project and you'll have a perfectly flat top. 😊

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Are the dimensions on the pdf what was shown in this video?

[@DoingWhatever]

yup!

[@ElCidPhysics90]

@@DoingWhatever thank you

[@lojack223]

How many 2x4, is needed?

[@DoingWhatever]

I used (14) 8' long 2x4s

[@zebduffey5698]

Not a impressive table and rudimentary woodwork at best but hey, it works i guess

[@DoingWhatever]

The video title is "Super Simple CNC Table", it wasn't meant to be impressive, just meant to work lol. And "Onefinity X-50 Woodworker" is the name of the CNC machine, not claiming that this is impressive woodworking either...

[@zebduffey5698]

@DoingWhatever I was messing with you. I'd build one the same in a hurry 😂. Just seeing if you was paying attention in the comments lol

[@DoingWhatever]

ahh ok, I was like "what's this guy's beef?" lol

[@zebduffey5698]

No beef. I took your caster wheel idea actually and implemented it
