Description

Use this file to replace the MDF hybrid table slats on your Shapeoko 5 Pro 2x4. Design includes slats with/without dog holes and pockets for threaded inserts.

Notes & Instructions

https://youtu.be/kon9I8fahXg .c2d files includes designs for slats with vertical 20mm dog holes, horizontal dog holes, or no dog holes at all. Also included is a blank slat with only mounting pockets. Of course this is fully customizable so feel free to change or modify in whatever way that best fits your workflow. File is setup for 3/4" MDF although I prefer using 1" MDF for these if you can source it. Make sure to verify material thicknesses and adjust tool paths accordingly. Verify pocket dimensions for threaded inserts depending on the brand you are using. File is setup to use M6x13mm EZ-Lok threaded insert without flanges #800610-13. Also verify dog hole pockets depending on your personal dogs. I 3d printed a set for my slats and a 19.9mm pocket fits them great.
