I’m wondering what size table/workbench is needed for xcarve 1000x1000 and does it need to be accessible from all sides? ---

I have a 4’x4’ table top for mine and alot of the time i need to reach from alll 4 sides. Many people have larger tables just depends on what you need. ---

Mine is only accessible from one end and one side and I manage OK. Mine is 750 x 1000. It’s on a piece of sheet goods on top of two plastic saw horses. I made my own plywood spoil board and have extra extrusion under it, so it is nice and rigid. I also have Y stiffeners and Riser plates. ![x](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/9/8/98a89d713ca76c1ef61d1d0ea3aab891ee49afd3.jpeg) ---

Can you expand on this? Did you just purchase a 4x4 table or make a base? TIA ---

Made it myself. Half sheet of 3/4" plywood for the top and go from there. ---

I looked up the measurement with the xCarve and the Xcontroller you will need about 50" x 40", I made mine 52" x 42". I used Targ’s Design [Targ's Workshop Build Log ... First Cuts](https://community.inventables.com/t/targs-workshop-build-log-first-cuts/10588), however I was unable to find any plans so I winged it from watching other video’s and other peoples Designs. Turned out pretty nice so far. Make sure you use a Torsion Box if you go this route. ![FoldingTable](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/2/9/29f71c90ae4a13487cdd62aa895fa07347003005.jpeg) ---

Laughing… Tough call. No smaller than 4x8’. I promise, your machine gets set up, then your computer needs to be close by, then you decide you need an extra monitor, which requires more space. Then you need a place for all your tools (in addition to the bit holder) like rulers/t-squares/pen-pencil holder. Mine is 4x8’ and it still could stand to be bigger.
