ryan has a new full sheet table design floating around, you should check it out, will edit with the link
[PXL_20250205_233205080]
I went out to see exactly how I would make a table for a 4’x8’ Capable CNC if I did not already have a CNC. Besides just two full sheets of plywood on the floor I think this is the next easiest.
I used
0.7"x3.5"x10’ Primed MDF strips, super easy for the torsion box
2"x4"x8’ For the saw horses and cross brace
1/2" OSB sheet for the bottom
1/2"-3/4" Particle board sheet for the waste board.
Light gray spray paint just to clean it up a bit.

I’m still figuring out the forum tools, so, bear with.
I have been mucking around with the Parametric Table(s) for my own preference on how to build a torsion box/table with what I have in my shop.
I wanted to use half-lap joinery for the torsion ribs, instead of all those screws and little pieces, and I have the capacity to cut my own parts, so don’t have to resort to MDF moldings. My gut says slicing up a 4x8 sheet of 9mm or 12mm MDF will be cheaper.
My plan is to rip all of those ribs, edges, rails, etc on my Sawstop, and then set up my router …
