Thanks for replying.
My current table/enclosure is probaly about 30-40kg, and my machine is about 50kg with a vice on it. I'm guessing my next machine will be in the 100kg range.
I am unfortunately a bit limited as to the materials I can build a table with as I can't weld anywhere and my mill lives indoors on the first floor. My current table is wood/MDF, and I am trying to decide between 80/20 for ease of construction and rigidity or more wood and MDF.
I have had a look at Tormach's DIY wood/plywood table, which seems pretty sturdy even though it is a fraction of the mills 1100lbs. Do you think there would be any benefit in building something similar, but adding an array of concrete blocks just below the table surface - rather like the granite slabs in a pool table? |
