My mobile cabinet for the X-Carve CNC needs a lifting mechanism capable of lifting over 70 kg. I decided to use gas struts and am very grateful to the UK company Metrol for supporting this project.

I have never designed anything with gas struts before and had 3 design ideas to try. In this video I show each approach and also give a general overview of the design factors when using gas struts.

I will be making a video about the cabinet design and the plans will then be available free of charge.
