Coolant slinger's Tormach 1100 set-up

[coolant slinger]

Hey guys,
Thought I would post a pic. of my machine. It's a Tormach PCNC 1100. I have had it for about a year now and am very inpressed with it. I use Cambam for the code when needed. I also posted a project in the project section of this forum named "Pockets and Profile".

Enjoy,
Coolant Slinger

Nice.
I fought an X3 conversion for 2 years and finally gave up. I pretty much gave it away last week and went back to a sherline for a while.
But I have been eyeballing the tormach 770 now.  Problem is I really need a place to put it, which was part of the X3 problem, cramming too much into a small space makes it really difficult to work on.
But lesson learned - if you want to tinker with the mill do a conversion, if you want to make parts get something made for the purpose.
Problem is, assuming I build an outbuilding, for a little more I can get a full VMC on eBay.
Decisions, decisions.

Here is a pic of the machine and the full encloser I made. It keeps the coolant and chips contained.

What a nice enclosure. Thinking of doing something similar. What are the white stuff that you use for the "walls"?

It's corrugated plastic 4mm thick. The only bad thing is I had to buy a box of 10 sheets 48" x 48". I only needed 5 sheets. $92.50 a box. Here is the link http://corrugatedplastics.net/
It's cheaper than plexiglass.
