CNC Worktable explained

The CNC workable has been designed for easy and intuitional material fixturing. Along with the CNC table
were designed clamps adapted to the table. Table with dimensions of 259mm x 250mm has M4 168 threaded
mounting holes with a spacing of 15mm for materials not covering the entire surface of the table and 8
threaded holes with a spacing of 30mm located on the edges corner enabling fastening of materials taking

up the entire working area.

M4 threaded slots with 30mm spacing
