This is a project I recently designed for in-house use where I work. I like to stay pretty humble, but I'm proud of how this turned out and just wanted to show off a bit.
Though it's not something you're likely to build for your own hobby shop, it may give some ideas when you're planning your space. A few weeks after it was commissioned, a second monitor was added above the first.
Design features include:
- Built-in surface plate (24" x 36" x 3")
- Storage for about 70 CNC tool holders of varying length
- MasterCAM computer & UPS shelves built in where you don't bump it with your knees, access door on left side
- Tilted computer work space for ergonomics and to keep people from setting things down there - it just rolls or slides away (keyboard is attached with double-sided foam tape)
- Side shelf for printer
- Shelves for drill/endmill dispensing boxes
- Peg-board compatible holes in many places (though a bit hard to see in the pictures)
- Comfortable to use computer while sitting on stool or standing, foot rest built in
It was a very engaging project to make everything fit, be easy to assemble,extremely functional and compact.
