CNC Furniture

The CNC Kit doesn’t come with a work surface- you have to create one. My CNC machine needs a 4×4′ absolutely flat surface in order to make 30″ square pieces. By the time you add in the rail mounting area, computer equipment mounting and circulation space I needed about 75 square feet of space. That is a lot of space for something that I won’t use every day! Luckily I’m not the first person to come to this realization; other people have come up with retractable and foldup solutions.

My table is based on a design I found on the Inventibles website called a “Targ Table” (named after Mr. Targ?). I increased the size to fit the Longmill CNC, arranged the controls to sit on the right (rather than left) side, added casters, changed the table support system, added a folding laptop table and a ventilated computer hardware storage area. When not in use the table requires only 18 sf of space.

The Inventibles website covers the build in detail. I’ve added some pictures from my build:
