This is just the best design i've seen anywhere! completely awesome. I sure hope you make both plans available for purchase. What a great design. blown away !
Thanks for the support Craig. Just curious, what would you need in the plans to actually go and build this yourself? Do you need dimensions of all of the panels and 4x4 pieces for the table? Or are you looking for step by step instructions on how to put it together?
@@EigenDesigns I guess to build your set up, you would just need measurements. It’s always nice to refer to a drawing as well, like in sketch up. Usually I don’t follow things exactly but good to refer to the basic drawing and measurements and add your own touch . Once you figure out what size your table top has to be you can go from there. Some have ordered the x50 which I think is much wider. If you were able to get plans made and sell them you might have your sawstop sooner 😊 I see lots of guys/ gals sell plans on there Etsy store etc. Check out shop nation (UA-cam ) He’s put some good plans out there. I’ve built my work bench from his plans.
Just watched the videos again. Would you be willing to share the dimensions of the table top and enclosure ? I as well have a small space and was thinking of putting castors on the bottom to move it around. What do think of that idea ? Cheers Craig
@@craigwesson1788 For sure. The Table top is 52"x53" and the height of the rear portion of the enclosure is 28". Have I already shared the sketchup file with you?
well done - I actually watched your new build for the new CNC and love the modifications and use of new techniques, eg dominos. I am about ready to pull the trigger on a OneFinity Woodworker pro and be on my way!
Excellent job on that enclosure. Very professional looking. I will be building something very similar when my machine arrives in a couple weeks. I built my table with retractable casters to easily lift and move when needed so I can access the back of the machine. I too have limited space.
1000 subs is just around the corner for both of us! Great build. The LEDs are the cherry on top👍. I really like your design with the curved windows. The shop is looking really good.
That looks awesome!! You did a great job on that enclosure. The whole setup is so cool and convenient. Great idea for mounting the lcd screen underneath like that. Its perfect, very innovative. Thanks for sharing your builds with us. 👍
Awesome enclosure! I’ve been wanting to do the same with my set up. This give me ideas. I’ve had my sawstop for about 3 years now. I flipp’n love it! I went with the 220v cabinet saw. They’re proud of their mobile base so I built my own. The whole thing is raised off the deck about 4” better on my back.
I ended up getting my sawstop and I LOVE it. It's an incredible piece of equipment and I am grateful to have it in my shop. I am glad this video gave you some ideas! Good luck building :)
Congrats! We just got ours and still waiting for the x-50 journeyman to arrive but it's still in the living room in boxes lol. I'll build a table for it this weekend or next. I look forward to seeing what you make. :)

@@EigenDesigns don’t discount the Laguna brand. Shop nation did a review. Worth a look. That will be my next table saw for sure. Sawstop I think is overpriced. But that’s just one guys opinion 😊
@@craigwesson1788 I have seen Shop Nation's review on the saw. He makes such good videos. I like the extruded aluminum fence on the Laguna and I love the price point. What still brings me back to the SawStop is the safety feature that stops the blade when it comes in contact with fingers. For me personally, its worth the extra cost, especially with a curious 3 year old that sometimes wanders into my shop.
Nice work man. You can barely tell the viewing windows on the right side of the front panel are 1/8" higher than the ones on the left. Its a bitch to get a two part cut to align on the second pass.
Thankfully, dust really doesn't get into the drawer slides. Because of the way the rails are attached and the protection of the "c" shaped channel provides, there hasn't been any accumulation in the slides.
This looks like all my iterations as well but without the queen bee pro Cnc 😂. I’m never satisfied with any of the designs, each have a flaw that I fix in another version. I’m on revision 7 I believe but I’m also keeping the mindset of using the bottom for quiet dust extraction with proper ventilation designed into a maze of MDF to quiet the sound before reaching outside. I’ve also incorporated MDF as internal sound dampening hopefully. I’m over engineering this project I know but just like tools get the best you can afford (or design). Oh by the way your model had the piano hinge on the wrong side. Good information on the enclosure!
It was really fun thinking through each design and being able to 3D model it to see how it looks. Question for you: do you have a 2.5" dust collection hose or another size?
@@EigenDesigns I'm not far enough along; I am at the design stage (an engineer is never happy with the design and a salesman sells what they don't have) and the CNC is still sitting. But maybe I have an answer to your question since I been deep into the UA-cam rabbit hole and have a mechanical background.
@@EigenDesigns Well I would definitely go as big as possible that the budget allows. Since I will be running multiple machines I will try to go with a 4" hose. To start I will use a shop vac for the CNC (underneath I'm designing a enclosure for sound dapening) and connect it to the different machines as needed. I want to run a cyclone separator in my setup so a larger setup will be nice so to prevent any air drop-off I will need to go bigger. If you plan to use it for the CNC only then the vacuum will be close enough that the smaller setup will be sufficient. If you plan to run a hose a long distance due to multiple hookups with no intent to disconnect and reconnect; a larger setup is a must. Also, for certain machines a larger dust collection is needed to prevent chip clogging like on a straight blade planer.

Hey Sean, I didn't measure it before and after, but the router noise is noticably lower after building the enclosure. However, the dust collector, which is right next to my CNC, is still super loud so I still wear hearing protection in the shop.
Very clean design. I really like the integrated drawer slides on the enclosure. Where did you get the articulating arm and hose for your CNC dust collection?
I found a guy on Etsy named RowdyRoman who makes this set. He 3D prints the boom knuckles and adds some aluminum tubing to create his design. You can find him here: www.etsy.com/listing/836980394/hose-boom-for-makita-router-65mm-users?ref=yr_purchases
@@Anthony-H One other thing you might want to check out is the drag chains and mounting brackets I used. They are from another etsy store called Route1WoodDesign. The drag chains help with the cable management and keep them away from dangerous pinch points. I have a link to both stores in my OneFinity unboxing video: ua-cam.com/video/tDFD17GlAv8/v-deo.html Have a great one!
Thanks for the kind words 😊 The door stays open on it’s own. The way the hinges open it “parks” the door in a position where it rests in the upward position on its own. I hope this helps answer your question
Now that you've lived with this for a while, do you find that the benefits of the side windows were worth it (assuming windows do not reduce noise as much as solid plywood)?
That's a good question. They don't often get used (except for a guest in my shop or my 3 year old getting curious) so it certainly is something that could removed from the design. It would also save quite a bit of money on the design since you wouldn't have to buy plexiglass. I am not sure how much more noise dampening you would get with just wood vs. plexiglass so I can't comment on that. For my setup, the dust collection is where the majority of my noise comes from. For me personally, I would still install them if I were building this today because my CNC enclosure is on of the main focal points of my shop and I think the windows make it look better.
Would you have any idea of how many decibels the enclosure suppresses? Nice build, im in the middle of building mine for the Elite Journeyman, and still tossing up about how to do the enclosure
I never measured the delta, but the difference in the router noise was significant. However, if you're shop is like mine and you have a giant dust collector that roars while you are operating the CNC, that pushes you in a db range where you'd want hearing protection anyway.
Thank you! I am not 100% sure about that. I briefly looked on amazon and didn't see any pin connectors that matched what I had, so I ended up ordering extensions from OneFinity.
@@EigenDesigns we have a Onefinity CNC, we will be doing mdf projects will this filter eliminate the fine dust? How long life do these have please? I will go look at this thank you ; )
@@higherstandardspc They do a great job of removing the fine dust out of the air, certainly a big upgrade from the bag filter. The filters actually have a very long life because you can them out (by blowing them out of using a mechanical agitator) and they are good to go again.
Great build! I'm still waiting for my X-50 Woodworker to show up. Are most people using 4 inch or 2.5 inch hoses? I have an Onieda 220volt collector and was thinking that the 4 inch hose would work better. Thoughts? Thanks!
Hey Dale! Most builds I see use a 2.5" hose (or smaller) for a CNC of this size. It's a pretty even split whether people used shop vacs or actual dust collection systems, but I don't see many folks running 4" all the way to the dust collection boot. I have a 4" line coming from my Delta dust collector, but step down to 2.5" for the final stretch to my dust boot. If you look at 9:12 in the video you can see where I use the blast gate to do the step down from 4" to 2.5".
Great job. I've been one of the early subs to your channel and loved every video you have published. I recently got the OneFinity CNC machine. Looking to build the enclosure like yours. For your panels, did you use 1/2" or 3/4" plywood? On the plexiglass, did you use 1/4" or 1/8" panel? Thanks again.
I appreciate the continued support! For the panels I used 3/4” plywood and for the plexiglass I used 1/4”. The plywood panels, particularly the roof, has to support a lot of weight so I decided to use the 3/4” to reduce the amount of sag.
Hey Tom, it does cut down on the router noise quite a bit. I would estimate as much as 75% of the noise is cut out. However, my dust collector sits right next to my enclosure and is just as loud and there’s no noise protection against that.
Hi very cool videos. I ordered a onefinity journeyman X50 which should be arriving in 3 weeks. im still needing to build a table. I see your table is all 4x4 and a top. What dimension did you use if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks Micheal! With the door closed the enclosure quietens the router noise quite well. You can have a comfortable conversation when the door is close. However, I am usually running my dust collector at the same time, which is pretty loud, so I end up with a bunch of noise anyway.
@@EigenDesigns Thank you very much! Would you be willing to share the sketch up design. I just bought a CNC machine. Noise is a big issue where I live. I have enclosed my Jet 1.5 HP dust collector. I used foam and plywood. its not pretty but lowered the db by 10 db. from 84 to 74. I was thinking about applying you design and making an acoustic panel 1.5 inches wide on the sides and top. I was planning to try to use Mineral wool this time, rather than foam. So I was wondering how many dbs the 3/4 plywood enclosed reduced the noise.
Why did you make this enclosure? You seemed to already have excellent dust collection. Noise would still be an issue as you will still be running the dust collector?
You are right about the noise. I still wear hearing protection any time my dust collector is on so it doesn't solve that problem. It does cut down on the noise from the router, which can be much louder than the dust collection, depending on what you are cutting and how aggressive you are being. But aside from noise, I wanted the ability to isolate the router + CNC while it was in use. I have a 3 year old who is naturally curious and I wouldn't want him to be able to reach up there while the machine was in use. The enclosure is one way of "engineering out" some of risk with the CNC. As a father I am just not sure I could ever forgive myself if something like that were to ever happen.
Looks like Mitz's enclosure from "Onefinity Training" channel. I believe his actually can slide the rear portion to the front though so he has access to the rear if he needs it. Both are quite nice designs. Good Work!
Thanks for the support, Bill. It's funny how Mitz and I landed on a similar design after months of design iterations. I think it was the most efficient/practical design for the space that I had. Btw, Mitz is awesome. If I can be referenced in the same sentence as him then I am flattered.
Thanks so much! I have some free sketchup plans available for you if you want to have a look: www.dropbox.com/s/ik4lxpqgioxuj2y/Eigen%20Designs%20CNC%20Table%20v6.skp?dl=0

@@EigenDesigns Thank you
Is this the Journeyman? Or woodworker x50?
It's the 35" model
Why did you make this enclosure? You seemed to already have excellent dust collection. Noise would still be an issue as you will still be running the dust collector?
You are right about the noise. I still wear hearing protection any time my dust collector is on so it doesn't solve that problem. It does cut down on the noise from the router, which can be much louder than the dust collection, depending on what you are cutting and how aggressive you are being.
But aside from noise, I wanted the ability to isolate the router + CNC while it was in use. I have a 3 year old who is naturally curious and I wouldn't want him to be able to reach up there while the machine was in use. The enclosure is one way of "engineering out" some of risk with the CNC. As a father I am just not sure I could ever forgive myself if something like that were to ever happen.
Looks like Mitz's enclosure from "Onefinity Training" channel. I believe his actually can slide the rear portion to the front though so he has access to the rear if he needs it. Both are quite nice designs. Good Work!
Thanks for the support, Bill. It's funny how Mitz and I landed on a similar design after months of design iterations. I think it was the most efficient/practical design for the space that I had.
Btw, Mitz is awesome. If I can be referenced in the same sentence as him then I am flattered.
Nice design! I dont have a cnc yet but when I do this is the enclosure I want!
btw nice video editing.
Thanks so much! I have some free sketchup plans available for you if you want to have a look:
