This plan prints the pivot geometry it was checked against — rotation sweep, clearances and all — because a flip top that clips its own cabinet is a drawing error, not a surprise you should discover mid-build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished size: 30 × 24 × 33 in (W × D × H)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlan length: 16 pages (US Letter), imperial + metric throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFlip panel: 26¾ × 24 in on a steel rod through two cheek blocks; holds tools up to 12 in tall on a 26 × 22 in centred footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInterior: one fixed shelf low at 6 in with tall open space above — the back panel stops at 18 in so the flipping panel's corner sweep (≈12 in radius) can never strike it; the sweep math is printed in the plan\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSheet goods: 1 × ¾ in plywood sheet + 1 × ¼ in plywood sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEstimated material cost (computed by the plan engine): $174\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate · Build time: 1 day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-page plan (Letter, print or tablet) — imperial \u0026amp; metric throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFront, side \u0026amp; top elevations + a full exploded view, all dimensioned in inches and millimetres\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePivot geometry checked in the model: sweep clearances printed on the steps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRod and locking-pin drilling positions given from one datum line\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDXF + SVG cutting files, grouped by real material thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExact hardware list — rod, pins and caster specs included, no guesswork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTools\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircular saw with a straightedge guide (or table saw \/ track saw)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDrill\/driver, pocket-hole jig, and a 3\/8 in bit long enough for the rod holes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eClamps (2 × 24 in), combination square, tape, level\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrbital sander — no CNC required.

The panel stops at 18 in and the fixed shelf sits low — both are sweep clearances, explained in the copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a CNC?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — circular saw and drill work fine.
