A box structure encloses, aligns, and supports the motions along three or more axes of a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machine tool. The box structure is formed by the assembly of six flat panels, which may be wood, plastic, metal, or other material. The flat panels may be shipped flat for assembly by the end user, as is common in the furniture art field, because the assembly of the panels will produce a fully aligned box structure. The assembly may incorporate edge connectors to align the edges of the panels to achieve the precision box structure. The edge connectors may incorporate bearing surfaces to support the rolling or sliding bearings of the X, Y, and Z CNC motions, so that all cutting forces are delivered to the edges of the box structure, where it has the most precise alignment and the greatest rigidity from the support of the adjacent panels. |
