Extend your short beam that’s closest to the blade guard and add two sets of the linear bearings spaced 12” to 16” apart and it will be worlds more stable. The plastic UHMW bearinsg they use with 8020 are a bit sloppy. If you really want nice movement, purchase some linear rails and trucks off ebay and integrate those.

no experience but do max overlap possible in the sliding mechanism.

Sang, ? Do you keep all of these 80/20 bits just sitting in a box somewhere?? The stuff isn't cheap. Dave

Re: The Annex workshop addition
Is there stock/material storage somewhere in the layout? If you process large panels / sheet goods that would need ample space around for maneuvering onto the sliding TS. Related to this would be the flow of lumber from point A to B, as well as from the entry point of your shop, I've often overlooked the fact that raw material is large and I've taken out my track saw more than once to be able to bring into the shop and process (by myself).?
How high are your ceilings? Having them taller provides obvious advantages but some downsides too -- cost of cooling/heating is one -- but it does open things up visually / mentally in terms of feeling of spaciousness. I went from 8' to 14' ceilings in my workshop remodel and love them!
The 3d printouts are a nice way to visualize!?

Re: The Annex workshop addition
i do not know how the wall will look with gloss paint but sure would be easy to clean. i think i have satin. white for ceiling and a light color for walls but dust does adhere to the wall.

I'm designing a new home workshop addition and would love help from anyone willing to offer it.? I don’t want to bore or overload with details, so I will try to provide the minimum to allow for some helpful guidance. ? ?

This will not be a production shop so maximum efficiency isn’t critical, but I would like to minimize pulling out the pallet jack every time I want to use a different tool. ? ?
I think like many here, I am obsessed with cool and well built tools.? As a result, all my home shops have been machine heavy, meaning I had minimal space to actually build things because the small spaces were packed with tools.? I am hoping to change that this time.? I would also like to be able to move materials from one operation to another on a rolling cart (3ft clearance between tools minimum). ? ?
?In the attached photos, the machine area (Top of the T) is roughly 38’x29’ (some flexibility in these dimensions) while the lower portion of the T where the assembly and work bench area is located will be 25’*20’ (not particularly flexible due to existing conditions)

Re: The Annex workshop addition
Hi Tom,?
I am certainly playing with putting the dust collector in a basement below and then popping up once and having overhead runs everywhere to allow for changes. ?
Your system sounds really dialed and clean. ?I really like the idea of a very bright space that the white ceiling would provide!?
Thanks so much,?
Anthony?

In Wichita I would be, but you can always find a dryer. Good industrial ones can be had used, or dare I say it, Harbor Freight sells one and I know quite a few folks that have used them and they seem to work well. Again, CFM capacity will make the difference on what unit you go looking for.

Hi Joe,
It has been super helpful as a way to visualize the space. ?I actually made the models myself using fusion 360. ?I am a novice user of the software and actually used this project as a way of advancing my skills. ?If you have any more questions I can try and help however I can!?
