CNC me do

No, it came from a CNC milling machine of some type.  I put my finger in there to show the size of it.  It's pretty big.

I'd guess that's a Nema 23 frame, looks roughly the same size as mine.

Looks like a hip flask made by engineers, for engineers.

So a not-hip flask, then.

I think I've decided on a design.

You might want to check this out.  It seems pretty nice and you can download a very detailed build guide here.  This manual is on sale at Amazon and B&N for ~$30, or for free on his site, I've never seen that happen before!

That's a nice looking machine. Too big (and expensive) for me, though.

It's about the exact size I was planning on.  I have this old table that I'm going to be using.  It's 43" x 43".  In the picture I have 3 of the leafs up but you can see where they end to get an idea.

Looks a bit round. Also is it a central leg with feet? Wonder how stable that'll be with a big-ass machine grinding on it (possibly, john).

No it has 4 legs.  It's round because the leafs are up on 3 sides.  They fold under the table and then it's square.  The legs are 4x4 posts, if that doesn't hold the machine then I messed up and built it out of rocks.

Why did you build it out of rocks?

You can always count on rocks.

A MIG? No wonder they were trying to put you away...  :-&
