    Looking for cnc mill top design sugestions

    Hi all. I'm currently building a cnc mill to work in metal. My mill head is on it's way but I still haven't designed a table top to use with it. I plan on a lot of wet cutting. I'm stuck on how to collect the fluid. There seems to be two methods for fluid control. Option A, sit your machine in a huge pan to catch the fluid. Option B, have a pan on your table top. I like option B better but I haven't found any pans that'll fit it (25"x8"). SO I'm thinking something custom will be needed to be made.

    I'd really like to go with 1inch piece of aluminum for a table top and machine t track into it or machine slots to mount some t-track in. I'm posting some design ideas I have.
