Milling machine stand

[threesixesinarow]

I can understand bigger machines being lower.

But the stands sold for mini mills are 35” tall - I guess that puts the machine table at about 40-41”? My tiny Unimat-size mill is higher up than that!



I do like using the outside, too, especially for tools I always need for that machine like wrenches and chuck keys, but it depends what and where it is, and at what height. I wanted good access from at least a couple sides of the mills where I don’t have to worry about brushing stuff off, even if it’s just chips caught on other things.

I’m not really a fan of pegboard but have used this stuff for panels in some of the furniture I made for the shop.
