CNC Stand with built-in storage

My CNC was originally designed to have a very low overall height to be able to fit under a desk. But since I now keep the CNC in the Devex workshop there is no need for the low profile. It is also very inconvenient with the low working position so I decided to build something that would give the CNC a better height.

I came up with the following design in Freecad. It is a frame built out of 45x95 mm construction lumber (spruce). However the lumber I got from the store was skewed so I planned them down to 40x90 mm. The frame have integrated drawer slides inspired by this design: http://jerswoodshop.com/scrap-storage-drawers/ I came up with the following design in Freecad.

Assembling the frame

All the pieces where cut on my Luna Master W57 combination machine.

After the first section of the frame hade been glued I could make the cutouts for the longitudal crossmembers.

Assembling the drawers

I built the drawers out of 10 mm plywood. I built the drawers out of 10 mm plywood.

Finishing

I applied a couple coats of spray laquer on the drawer pulls.

Mount the CNC on the stand

Lifting the CNC to its right place was quite a cumbersome task. Lifting the CNC to its right place was quite a cumbersome task.
The cutouts on the top of the frame matches the profile of the CNC. The cutouts on the top of the frame matches the profile of the CNC.
