If my Maslow cuts all areas of a 4’x8’ sheet, does the frame take up 5’x 9’, 6’x10’…? ---

Please see this thread: > [@80 Dollar, 60 minute Frame Build aka 80/60](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/80-dollar-60-minute-frame-build-aka-80-60/2249): > > I’m going to name my design “the $80 build” Less than 90 minutes with Documenting - I will say it will be under 60 minutes. Screw count 9 - This is a minimum build but I believe it will work. It’s designed to mount the work to the frame and have it flush with the outer edges for full access to the entire sheet. 2- 12 ft boards 1 - 10 ft board 1 - 8 ft board 1 sheet of wood . 3/4 inch thick Note there are 2 side pieces and 12 screws not in place. The top mount is deviated from the drawing… Thank you ---

the frame needs to be at least a couple feet longer than what you are going to cut (4 ft longer is probably better than the stock 2 ft longer) it will be ~2.5-3 ft taller than the width of what you are cutting it will be 2-3 ft deep (depending on how you mount the legs, if you put anything else on the frame, etc) David Lang ---

well, you talk about a sheet of plywood being 4’ wide, and 3/4" tall/thick so for 4’ wide plywood, the machine is 6.5-7’ tall David Lang
