- How to Make a Table and a Box for a Shapeoko 3 XXL
I apologize for taking so long to post this video! I have been in and out of surgery, and at the time of publishing this video, I am going back into surgery today…its be pretty tough to get around to editing the video but…better late than never!
Supplies:
4x4x8 yellow pine
2x4x8 pine (studs)
4x8x ¾” sheet of Maple Plywood, you can use any plywood you want.
1x4x8 premium pine for trim pieces (optional)
6” in locking casters (Heavy duty to support more weight)
Overlay hinges.
Cabinet Handles
Plexiglass
Caulk/silicone
3in wood screws
1 ¼” pocket screws
Sandpaper: 80-120
Paint (Optional)
Spar urethane water based (optional)
COFFEE!
Table Dimensions:
Overall, the profile for this table is 48” inches deep, 60” inches long, by 38” inches high.
I cut the 4x4’s to 30” inches. Frame boards were cut to 45” inches and 60” inches. The narrow side cubby is approximately 18” inches deep by about 30” inches high and spans the depth of the table (48” inches). The extra stock/cutoff bin is approximately 18” inches high from the top of the table down, 42” inches long by 48” inches deep.
Box Dimensions:
Back Panel: 47” inches by 30” inches high
Side Panel: (no window) 48” inches by 30” inches high
Top panel: 47” inches by 48” inches
Window Panel: TOP strip: 7 ¼” wide by 47” inches long. BOTTOM: 7 ¾” wide by 47” inches long. LEFT/RIGHT Vertical sides: 4” inches wide by 14 ½” long.
Cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the opening with a ¼” deep by ½” wide Rabbit around the inner edge of the “window” opening, attach all the pieces together with pocket holes and screws. Secure the glass with clear silicone and small nails. Let dry for at least a few hours before you attach it to the box.
Door Panel TOP: 8 ¼” inches wide by 24” inches long. SIDES: 3 ¾” inches wide by 14 ½” long x2. BOTTOM: 7 ¾” inches wide by 14 ½” long x2. REMEMBER: You need to make two doors, so double these numbers using ¾” inch plywood. Use pocket holes to attach the pieces together and attach with pocket screws and wood glue…Clamps required.
Sorry, this was kind of thrown together, but I needed to get this video out here as I have had TONS of messages asking me when the next video was going to drop! When I can move around again, I will get back in the shop and make more content, but in the meantime I just wanted to say thank you all for the great support and constant messages/comments…. It really means a lot to me and I hope y’all keep the comments flowing!

A masterpiece! Thank you for your service. I was Army arty 155 sp and 8" FDC, in 1966, 67, 68. Appreciate your workmanship greatly.
you look like you should be in the next Super Troopers movie lol
With the casters on the table are you experiencing any vibrations that may be throwing off any cuts?
Love the box! Gives me some ideas for my Shapeoko XXL. What hose did you use for the dust collection?
Would you have made it larger if you could do it over? I hear lots of people saying that after they make a table and enclosure. I just ordered my XXL today so I'd like to plan accordingly. Thanks for the video.
Ya I would make the table and box a bit bigger. Not by much but enough to get in and do maintenance on it would be nice.
Do you have a video on your dust collector system
Very nice. Going to have to make myself 1 when my Pro comes. Did the box aid in noise reduction much without dampening material?
Thanks! I found the box to be very helpful for dust collection by about 1000% and it reduces noise by about 70%. I can have the router on and cutting, and still hear my tv that is right on top of it. No drawback towards the material, except the fact that you can only use the stock table size to cut (you can’t put a board through the back of the shapeoko cutting space).
You should consider a spindle for the Pro. It will reduce noise by....well I will just post a link. A 1.5kw spindle will double your horse power and at least quadruple the torque.
@@ClintonCaraway-CNC I'll take that link
How much did the box knock down on the noise?
Nice video!! How are you liking the Shapeoko 3??
Thanks! I’m loving it 😎
how the engines do not overheat in the box?
Lots of air flow from the 2 vacuum hoses inside the box.
