In some of my earlier videos I mentioned that I wanted to build a vertical work station, and I finally got around to it. The whole point of making a vertical work table is to cut joinery. In general, you need to mount drawer sides, and frame rails vertically to cut a dovetail or tenon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-1024x601.png\" alt=\"CNC cutting dovetails\" class=\"wp-image-7978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-380x223.png 380w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc-1320x775.png 1320w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cutting-dovetails-on-the-cnc.png 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cutting dovetails out with the Vertical Work Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a simple design, following the style of my original <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wUP99Vdxp3E\">CNC Horizontal Work Table \/ CNC Spoilboard<\/a>, and took some ideas from Jay Bates and Frank Howarth.

Short vertical pieces won&#8217;t make contact with my current second row of dog holes, so I&#8217;d like another row right above the second t-track. I work around this issue by using a spacer that is long enough to touch both rows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vertical t-tracks<\/strong>: It has been difficult to mount 1.5&#8243; thick pieces lengthwise along the edge to cut mortises. They&#8217;ll cover up the first t-track, and the next t-track is too far away. Having 4 or 5 vertical  t-tracks would be better and more flexible. Vertical t-tracks could also be used to mount a &#8220;bottom stop&#8221; for repeating the same operation. There are other ways to do this, but a vertical t-track would be easiest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better method of clamping pieces lengthwise<\/strong>: I&#8217;m not sure how to do this, but this is related to the above issue, where I try to clamp 1.5&#8243; to 2&#8243; thick pieces along the top. I wish there was some better way of clamping. I could have left a gap on the top to allow regular clamps to be on the top, but then the machine would hit those, so that wouldn&#8217;t work. Embedding an array of t-nuts might work in this situation, although I generally dislike t-nuts for various other reasons (mainly bottoming out).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vise?<\/strong>: I thought about somehow adding a traditional woodworking vice to the end of the table and using it like I would normal woodworking. I still think this might be a worthwhile idea to investigate, but it would consume a lot of space and present other problems. I think some other type of removable vise like mechanism might be a better solution, something that uses the t-tracks but has the rigidity and clamping power of a woodworking vice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video link: CNC Vertical Work Table Build It&#8217;s been a while since I posted on my blog, and I&#8217;ve got a few videos on YouTube that are interesting to talk about.
