Hi All,

Trying and struggling to find this answer (maybe it's not as straight forward a question as it seems??)
Approx how much space does a 5x10 CNC require (gantry style with ATC)?

I'm not yet a CNC owner or user, but I intend to be in the next year and I'm currently in the layout/planning phase of a new shop. So i'm sure certain models take up more space, but as a minimum estimate, would it be 2 ft on three sides and either 5.5ft or 10.5ft on the fourth side to load sheets? (can they be loaded from either the short side or long side?)

Thank you!
Ian
