Hey everyone, just wanted to share my next round of upgrades for my PM45 mill. As she sits now:


First things first, lets get this baby in an enclosure. I'm pretty sick of cleaning up chips and not having a coolant system! I had a local shop plasma cut the tub and bend it up for me as well as shear the rest of the pieces. So lets get the tub tacked up and welded. It's got to be water proof.

After welding the tub, it's time to fit the back of the enclosure. Unfortunately I can't just weld everything together as this needs to fit thru a standard door frame.

And the first side

And the second:

And some reinforcement pieces:


I still need to seal up the corners and add some more reinforcements to the back wall. Stay tuned, more to come.
