This page offers a Zip download with Fusion 360 archive files for 7 different models of CNC cut tables for the LowRider v3 DIY CNC, and also offers DXF files for each of the wood parts that would need cut.

Recommended material for all aspects of torsion box: #1 MDF, #2 particle board, #3 OSB, #4 plywood, or some other processed wood. I initially thought plywood was better for the ribs and spars, but unless you live somewhere with high humidity, Ryan has indicated MDF, particle board, or OSB are better.

Note: if your wood material for ribs and spars is a thickness other than 23/32″, then please edit the Fusion 360 parameter named “Thickness_Plywood_Material” and afterward re-output the DXFs for both “X ribs” and “Y spars” and edit your cut plan accordingly. Info on how to output DXF (can even be done in free hobby version of F360) is available here.

*Note:  for the full size tables designs (with 97″ cuttable area), the wood sides that the LowRider rides on, which I call Riding Plates, are too long to get in a single cut from a 4×8 sheet. Same is true for the outer side supports for them, which I call Outer Minor Y Spars. So it takes two cuts each on the Riding Plates and two cuts each on the Outer Minor Y Spars. This leads to a choice / decision on how to combine the two halves of each together. One approach is using lap joints, which the DXF pre-arranged cut plans below are setup for. Height match is key. Some sanding can get a match if the glue-up makes the two surfaces of the lap joint thicker than ideal. Another approach is using either a biscuit joiner cutter, with a biscuit glued into each side, or a Festool Domino cutter (I don’t own one, they are super expensive), or a dowel joiner cutter, or neither — just a simple butt joint. (Again this is only the full length table designs (which are marked with *).
