General Information

This 5 Panel Bench was specifically designed to fit in my Inventables X-Carve 1000mm, CNC router. It was also designed within the Easel software that drives the CNC machine. I built the bench for a non-profit fund raiser and posted a YouTube video of the build.

I was able to correct the errors previously reported to me. When you open the file in Easel, you will find the stetchers for he bench in the "Workpieces" section (hyperlink) at the lower left hand corner of the page.
