I imagine the height party will wear off after a few 4 x 8 sheets of 3/4” stuff… but as a tiny workshop designer/developer I saw too many good uses for the space that would also give some stray tool carts some natural homes.
Frame is just a bunch of 1.25” 14ga square tubing that I flux core welded with minimal overthinkage. I expected to have to add diagonal braces, but it feels very strong as long as I don’t get too carried away with monster trucking it around the basement so I think I will leave it as-is for the sake of sliding tool carts in and out.
This is #1 of 2 LR4 CNCs I am building in parallel. The other one will be portable for use in a very tiny space mobile workshop… printed with PETGCF to avoid melting in a hot trailer on the way to Arizona for a project. Those will go in a separate post once complete (I mis-cut a belt )
This one 5x9 (61x109) single piece of MDF to cut full 4 x 8 stock.
You would be screwed on my table. I think its about an inch taller and about a foot wider. I can reach just past the middle stretching out lol. But it’s nice to not have to bend over!
Should be picking up a piece of 5x10 ultralight MDF tomorrow. Couldn’t find and 5x9 locally. Planning to do a similar table build. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yep 5 x 10 is what I went with as well. Had to cut it down. I’m not sure if it was ultralight or not, but something tells me that a 5 x 10 sheet of MDF will never be ultralight.
Ok not ultralight. I was misinformed. It’s labeled as ultralight but still 100lbs for a 5x10 3/4in. Able to order from Berco Redwood in Sacramento Ca. Picking up from wholesaler down the road at Royal Plywood.

I’m too short, I would never be able to reach the middle!
