    I also made one for mine, but I made a big drip/chip tray to go under that raped up around the back side, very similar to the one that came with my 7x14 mini. I also added a baffle under the head to keep the nastys out from under there and making thier way to the gear train. I have about 4 different smaller plastic trays under the lathe on top of the big steel tray I made so it stays nice and the chips contained and quickly disposed of. I also have a small tray under the gear train to catch oil there too.as well as one under the change gears to catch drippings. my lathe is labeled a enco....but enco says it's not...I bought it about 1 month before they went under...it had lost of issues...so..they said it wasent theirs.even though it's enco blue and has all the enco labeling.. what else would you expect from a company that sells crap and is going under.(closed down by parent company MSC).it now works great& oh so quiet now that Ive fixed it all.
