A wasteboard is a disposable work surface that will be mounted atop your Onenity’s perma-
nent table. Having a wasteboard is an important part of a CNC and makes using the Onenity
more enjoyable as leveling and workholding becomes easier. The wasteboard is typically MDF
and protects the table from damage as well as being an expendable surface. From time to time
your wasteboard will need to be surfaced. That means using a spoilboard cutter to clean up
any gouges or cuts and make the board at and parallel to X and Y axis travel. The unique de-
sign of the Onenity allows you to create/use any style Wasteboard you desire.
Note: The minimum recommended wasteboard thickness is 3/4”. This allows you to achieve
maximum Z-Travel while still having a thick enough surface to attach/clamp your work piece.
This thickness will also give you the opportunity to perform several surfacing operations before
needing to be replaced.
Note: For maximum stiness it is recommended that you build up your wasteboard to a
thickness of 2-1/2”- 3”. This will still give you approximately 3” of gantry clearance while
reducing the moment force on the Router, Z-Slider and X-Rail parts. When building up your
wasteboard to this thickness please ensure you use the Z-Sliders top mounting holes.
