Milling machine stand

[Crusty]

My stand is much like that but I used 4x4s for the legs with large diameter lag screws in the ends for level adjusters and triple layered the top with 3/4" plywood laminated together. I also enclosed the area under the tabletop and it's proved to be handy for storing accessories. It's a solid reliable fixture.

I made mine tall too and my quill is only slightly below eye level so that I don't have to work hunched over. Over the years I've become pretty fed up with everything being sized for hobbits (and don't get me started about nearly all shower nozzles positioned so that they squirt me in the throat).
