Finished Enclosure! Taig CNC-Pictures!

[SpeedsCustom]

I'm not going too go into a lengthy discussion about this. But here she is, what was once a cabinet waiting too be thrown out is now a great enclosure! It's finished for the most part with some little things left. The little things left too do is seal some areas that leak. But that shouldn't be too hard too fix. I will be adding more too the outside, E-Stop, Spindle controller etc....

My brand new pump from Surpluscenter is amazing (Thanks Hoss) and my filtration system has too be one of the best designs around. It hands down has too be the best. There is no mess, no chips in the tank, no mess.....Beautiful drainage.

Good job. Drains well and no chips in the pump. It must be nice and quiet now too.

Maybe look at a new vise? A ground screwless jobbie would be a big improvement. A lot more solid. Like one of these.

or the 3" one.

Milling eye recesses?

Omg, It's super quiet. Barely here the pump caused it's in the coolant and the spindle you can barely here now because of the roof. I turned on the spindle during the video towards the end.


Yep! I already bought a 3 inch Precision vise from Ebay, I just need too get something too clamp it down or make something. It has the holes on the side.


Yes, but also a pocket I designed for my other piece I make.

Jason,

This clamp idea came from LMS. You could adjust the size if necessary to work with your vise.

speed,
hey long time no...

i have a solution for mounting a tool makers vise. It is a mounting plate that has the vise prmenantly mounted to it. It is fairly self aligning for quick removal an remount. Similar to my 4th axis stuff if you recall back. You were involved in the thread.

Basically a plate of aluminum and (4) x1/4-20 button head cap srews.

I will take pictures withing the next day or two if you would like.

Thanka Alan, I'll see what I can whip up!

Under-Dog, Please do post. OMG, my vise came in today. I just ordered it 2 days ago! I was expecting at least a week.

Really like the drainage and mill mount setup. Only thing that jumps out at me is that it might be nice to have a window in front of the machine to watch it do it's thing... other than that super nice enclosure!!! Peace...

Thank you, the drain is my favorite part. I use too clean up so much and spill everything, I'm proud of my design. I am actually going too install PLexiglass in the front. Just working out other things too!


I'm glad you like it, it really completes everything!

Acondit- Hey, I took the measurements and made my part today: I hope I can cut it using Meshcam. I have yet too cut anything 3-D....Even though it's not, I want too cut in different ways then just 2D. Thanks for the Data sheet, part looks good. Again, hope I can cut it.

I hope it works out well.

By the way I also really like your drain setup.

Basically an alum plate. Drilled and tapped for BHCS. The holes are right art the edge of the vise so they hold it from moving at all side to side. The caps obviosly sinch it down.

If I were to make it again.............I had only a small piece of aluminum. I would make it lonh enough to have Tnut mounting holes on the ends as well so I could rotate the vise 90 degrees and mount that way as well. However I have never had a need for that. All the setups I do work fine this way. But just for the sake of flexability I would consider what I mentioned having 2 sets of mounting holes.

This is very temporary until I get Cut3D from Tony at vectric (Which I may add is an amazing program). I made this mount today, very sturdy but only temporary since I will be making larger cuts in the future! So no one worry I designed blocks for the mounts I'll post picture soon!


I have some leaking issues now with full coolant. I mean, the biggest area is the doors. Instead of them being on top and over the bottom pan, there before and under. So anything that gets on the doors and drips falls down, So I designed this flanged guard from some "L" shape aluminum thinking it would not cause anything too leak, still leaks! What I need too do is find rubber gaskets or liner for doors, bathrooms, whatever and seal it up!
