My new Taig Enclosure using 80/20

[L2A3]

Jason,
the panels are 100% made of plastic, probably pvc. If you go to a building center, look in the 4x8 paneling area. This stuff was called Dura thermal lite or something like that. It has cellular ribbing cavities inside it for strength, basically the same design as heavy duty cardboard only all plastic. I think any paper product would eventually fail. Not sure about wood and paint, I guess it depends on how you do it.

Very true, I knew it wasn't foam board it would make no sense. Ok, I'll need too check lowes or Home Depot.

I think they call that material choroplast at a sign shop.

There's a good selection of TSlots remnants on the Automation Overstock website (www.automation-overstock.com). If you can't find the extrusions you need on EBay, they might have what you need.

Nice Enclosure! Good ideas on coolant recovery also.

The fluted plastic is called Coroplast ( http://www.coroplast.com/ ) and a very small select can be found at Home Depot though you can probably buy it cheaper from a sign shop or plastics supplier. Another option is Expanded PVC.

Great enclosure. I love it!! I want one.

Beautiful enclosure. I do wonder about your straining of the coolant though. Why not have a settling tank first instead of all the screens? Of course you will still need some screening but if using an overflow system it would catch most. Also how are you tilting the floor? I see plywood under the whole enclosure but it all looks pretty level. I run a large flat pan under my mill at the moment and quite a bit of coolant is slow to drain. How about a video on youtube of the whole system in action?
