CNC table and desk plans for plywood
Every table here is parametric: you set the length, width and height, and the legs, aprons and tenons are recalculated for your board. No fixed plan that is almost your size. Preview it in 3D before you spend a sheet of plywood.
More models are coming soon. Need something special? Ask us for a custom model, or see everything available now.
What to know before you cut
- Measure your plywood first. Sheets labeled 3/4" usually measure closer to 23/32" (about 18 mm). Every joint is calculated from the thickness you enter, so a caliper reading beats the label.
- Choose a clean top if you want a smooth surface: the leg tenons go into pockets on the underside, so nothing shows on top.
- Add the wedged low stretcher for stiffness. It ties the legs together and can be tapped tighter if the table loosens over time.
- Large overhangs can make a table tip when someone leans on an end. The preview warns you when the proportions need a change.
Frequently asked questions
Which plywood thickness is best for a table?
For most tables, 3/4" (about 18 mm) plywood works well for the top and legs. Thicker board is stiffer over long spans, and the preview warns you when a top may sag. Always enter the real thickness you measured.
Do I need a stretcher?
It is optional on the dining table and recommended on desks and workbenches. Without it a table is a lot less rigid along its length.
Can I make a round top?
Yes, on the coffee table: set the length equal to the width and the corner radius to the maximum, and the top comes out round.
What sheet size are the parts nested on?
A standard 4 × 8 ft sheet by default. You can set your own sheet size in the material settings of each model.
