Very very nice. I only wish I could do the same for my 9' tall Bridgeport.

Got tired of wearing coolant and chips around, so I built an enclosure.
Its 60"x36"x48" tall.

You could...first start with a shower stall...j/k LOLOriginally Posted by Cold Fusion
I still need to coolant proof a few things...move the lathe, X and Y axis motors 180 degrees about. feed thru's for wires and hoses. The list just gets longer and longer.
How thick was the Plexi that you used?

.085" wall and doors.
.110" roof
Doors are kinda floppy.
110 all around would be nice.
Ya know, that isn't all that bad of an idea really...

Does your enclosure reduce noise to any extent?
It does to an extent. The high frequency noise is alot less, but low freqs will always get by without futher dampening.
I have the right side adjecent to an inside wall...lots of noise.
