Woodworking: Making Fisher's Mobile Assembly Table

Very nice design, well done!

[@lennyharris1618]

Thanks for the video and plans I purchased. I'm especially impressed with the outtakes. I'm about to assemble my first X Carve 1000mm and love the space saving table design. When I watched the assembly of the X Carve, it seemed like it was very important to keep the machine level, square and parallel on the table. Is there any concern about the machine coming out of alignment when you are using the other side of the table? I guess the X Carve seems a bit fragile to hang upside-down and be jared by even modest use of the other side of the table. Appreciate any advice as I begin this journey! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@FishersShop]

Hey Lenny. The torsion-box design of the table surface helps protect against it coming out of square or losing its flatness. I haven't had any issues with mine and I've used it a ton. I suspect you'll be just fine

[@lennyharris1618]

Thanks so much for the reply. I look forward to the journey.

[@ianglasson8068]

Looks great - but what about a waste board for the CNC?

[@matthewhuston1188]

This is a great idea! I'm curious if it racks or shakes when the cnc is throwing itself around. I'd like to build this for sanding, planing, and tool sharpening. Just curious if you think that it would be stable enough to not shake to death with the repeated motion of planing, sharpening, and sanding etc? Any thoughts?

[@FishersShop]

It doesn't shake with the CNC although the OneFinity is very smooth when it operates. But with the lockable casters and the overall weight of it all, it should be just fine for what you want to do with it.

[@FishersShop]

[READ ME FIRST!] Hey everyone! Hope you liked the video! Here's some answers to most of the questions I've been getting so far so please read through all of these first before to make sure it hasn't already been answered. The last thing you want to do is to look like a Tray Face and ask a question that's already been covered. Q: What CNC is that? A: It's the OneFinity CNC "Woodworker" model Q: Can you run the CNC in the vertical or upside down position?? A: Not vertical for sure. The stepper motors aren't designed to fight against the weight of the gantry. Upside down could potentially work but would be near impossible to setup your job ahead of time in that position. Since you can't rotate the table 180-degrees without having to disconnect cables, it's not even worth trying. Q: What's the overall size of the table surface? A: 48 inches wide by 46 1/2 inches deep Q: How tall is the table surface off the ground? A: Depends if you use the same casters as I did. If you do, then it's 37 3/4" tall. Q: Can I use it as an outfeed table? A: Yes of course. See the previous question for the height of the table. If your saw is shorter than that, you'll have to shim it up to be level. Q: Is it perfectly flat? A: I tried to keep it perfectly flat but there's always going to be imperfections in glue-ups. If I need a perfectly flat surface for a large CNC operation, I can clamp on a temporary waste board and flatten it prior to carving the project. Q: Looks like it wobbles. Won't that affect CNC performance? A: In the shot where it looks like it was wobbling, most of that was because I didn't have the casters locked. But there's always going to be a little bit of a wobble since the table has wheels. No, it won't affect CNC operation because the gantry itself is screwed down to the surface. Q: Where's the CNC controller?? A: It's internally wired and mounted inside of the top pull-out drawer. The spindle, the controller, and the touch-screen display are all internally wired to that single extension cord that comes out of the table making it super convenient for me. Q: Where are the gantry-control cables? A: They're coiled up inside the drawer connected to the controller. Whenever I want to use the CNC, I set up the table, open the drawer to access the controller, plug the gantry-control cables into the CNC and use the machine. Q: How come you didn't internally wire the gantry control cables too? A: There's just not enough room in the 3/4" Tee-connector. There's the extension cord, the controller power cable, and the power cord for the touch-screen display. There's just no room for 4 more cables. If I had made the axle with 1" pipe instead, then maybe I could have gotten away with it. But to be honest, this works just fine for me. Q: What's that blue thing? I need a link for the leveling feet! What casters are those? How many sheets of plywood did it take? etc. etc. etc. A: Everything is detailed out in the plans. ( www.fishersshoponline.com/plans ) Q: Can you really breakdance? A: No...and thanks for making me feel bad about it, Big Drawer Face! I'm not crying, you're crying!

[@johnjss]

@fishershop Would you recommend the onefinity cnc? Wasn’t sure I could fit one into my shop until I watched your video

[@LongTailWoodcraft]

Flattening awasteboard with the CNC won't result in a flat wasteboard, unless the CNC is mounted on a flat table. But if the base table isn't flat, the CNC isn't flat... you can see where there's an issue.

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

"Draw me like one of your French Woodworkers" was all I could think when you did the first stability test of the table.

[@zafarsyed6437]

I've always wondered, after a video gets uploaded, and then the neighbors actually have something missing, have / would the police show up at Fisher's door?

[@kevincasey2947]

I realize the table passed the bucket of lard test, but when you fold the legs down, does the radius of swing prohibit the leveling foot from fully contacting the floor and keep the leg from becoming perpendicular, thus allowing the table surface to rock back & forth just a bit when all 4 legs are deployed? Do you have to lift the whole assembly up just a bit to fully deploy the last legs? Is the shimmy in the table you demonstrated in the clamp hold down test acceptable to you for the CNC routing?

[@FishersShop]

The leveling feet touch the floor for all four legs snugly. So yes, you have to almost lift up on the table to get the last 2 feet deployed perpendicular. The table shook in that shot mainly because I didn't have the casters locked. But yes, the wobble is fine. It won't affect the performance of the machine at all

[@heberclements]

I built this cart for an onefinity elite journeyman. Had to change the table top to 48 x 70.5, and had to raise the table a few inches because of it. I also used 1 inch black pipe for the axle and made the table 5 inches thick. The X50 rails and the extra Stiffy made this very heavy. 23 inch 100lb Arana Gas Struts/Springs were used counteract the weight. (100 lb was OK, more would have been better.) The Struts made it impossible to use the flipside of the table top. Another change was to shift the axle 5.5 inches to the rear of the table. This allows the CNC to sit further back when vertical (6.5 inches would have been better) which give better clearance going thru a narrow doorway. I also changed the leg configuration. At first, I used 3/8 inch carriage bolts and knobs for the legs. But the knobs would loosen and the legs would fall prematurely. Once the legs were down, the knobs did not do a great job of holding the legs in place. So... I replaced the carriage bolt and knob solution with some locking brackets and went from 4 legs down to 2. 4 legs was way too many.
