- Today's video will explain the assembly of a torsion box for your use in any shop using a Kreg Base unit. Torsion Box assembly looks more involved than it really is. Follow along as I construct one and share the number one tip for a dead flat surface!

Hey, thanks for watching today! Not a sponsored video (forgot to mention that), all tools and materials are my own. Smash that subscribe button to help get the word out! Comment below if you have, or plan to make a torsion box!
I've been fighting flatness on my workbench for years. Now I'm fighting it on my Onefinity table. I'm going to build two torsion boxes and minimize the problem! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the tip about setting the table saw fence for the ribs. Looking at several ideas for building a torsion box for my new Onefinity.
I watch way too much UA-cam (according to my wife), especially when it comes to woodworking ideas/methods/tools/etc. So far, this guy has consistently hit well above his weight class. No wasted time watching, all good info, ego left aside,...I could go on. I just wish the tool manufacturers could identify and back more than channels like this vs. their current crop. Please keep doing what you're doing!
super nice video and very informative. Shows the builder is skilled and still reaches the viewers. Got to connect with the viewers
Great content as usual. Using a piece of scrap to make the "dados" on the end caps to locate the stretchers is an excellent process for a stress free build. One additional thing to look out for is to make sure the table you build the your torsion box on is as flat as possible. The torsion box will conform to the table and will only be as flat as the table is. Ask me how I know. :) If you don't have a flat table you can hot melt glue shims under the legs of a pair of sturdy saw horses to make level and flat and place an mdf sheet on top.
I have been on the fence about which way I was going to go for a bench. I really appreciate your informative videos and this one sealed it for me, I’m going to use a torsion box and a Kreg bench for my base, thank you!!
I appreciate your detailed video and presentation. You helped me save some money as I was thinking I had to do 3/4 baltic birch and 2x4s.....for my Journeymen setup!
Another super helpful video! Still debating on how I'm going to set up my Onefinity when it arrives. Been looking at Kreg work bench frames and have heard nothing but good things. Will probably start with a torsion box as I design my cabinet enclosure. Really like what you did with the lower storage! Thanks again JR!
thanks for the importation , very helpful
5 to 6 thousandths! I'm impressed.
Thanks!
Super super super helpful view on how to do this. I am copying you for my Onefinity table 😄
Ok quick question. Should I cut all the grid parts at the same time? 🤣.
Thank you for the great video and guide on the table build. Do you have a recommended thickness of the stretchers , how thin can I make it if using 1/2” material?
Great video - thank you. Do you find the Kreg bench at all wobbly for your CNC?
Great video. What do you think of using MDF rather that baltic birch for the torsion box, or just the ribs and stretchers?
so if we can only get the veneer baltic birch from big box store should we even make this for the CNC in your opinion? When I currently cut my BB plywood on my cnc and try to set the thickness of the material I can get slightly different thickness on each of the sides. I understand your point about cutting all the ribs at once but if the plywood isnt a unfied thickness we are defeating the purpose correct?
What brand/model of monitor are you using on your Onefinity?
Did you level the Kreg bench before you started building your torsion box on top of it? Also, did you check in the middle of the sheet to see if it sagged at all or did you have some ribs added between the rails to prevent that.
