Ah ha, I was wondering. Very, very nice by the way. As someone who does his DIY outside in the back yard ( no shed no garage ) I'm very envious!
Cheers, Nick
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've not been on the forum for sometime.
A personal loss meant I had to put everything on hold for awhile but things are starting up again and I hope to continue with the updates.

No idea on an exact figure but at a guess around 70kg per side in baffles. Its Corian so its heavy. Definitely want to lift with you legs and not your back!
The cnc upgrade continues...
Control box received a large overhaul. Virtually everything replaced and now running top of the line digital stepper drivers along with dual 75v PSU's. Also features a relay operated safety and control system with 24v home switches and limits, tool height probe, spindle start/stop and coolant pump on/off control.

WOW! 😱 🙂
That's quite a difference with the control box.. from something home-brew to a thoroughly pro layout (..actually well beyond what you often find). Reminds me of some of the best enthusiast computer builds out there.
I'm starting to think your loosing a lot of pounds on this build, and I don't mean personal weight. 😀

Thanks qusp, Scott
Its cost about an extra £1000 on top of what I paid for the machine but that's not what irks me. Its the hours spent and down time. Still the experience has had its benefits too. You gleam a lot of knowledge on the inner workings of these things and that can only be of help when it comes to maintenance, setup and troubleshooting.
Oh and I've lost some weight too. Need to get fit in preparation for pushing 'run program' on the keyboard!

Looks really nice. I'll be interested to hear your experience with the enclosure. My biggest problem currently is that my machine blows sawdust all over my garage. It keeps me from using it as much as I'd like because it's so annoying. I've been thinking about making an enclosure for a while.
