box didn't come with a back plate ?, any provisions for air flow thru the box ?

David,

No, it didn't come with a back plate. I'll need to make some spacers to space it off of the wall to allow for the screw heads on the back side. Not a big deal. There are no provisions for air flow. I'm installing a fan inside the box to blow air across the VFD so I'll need to cut two fairly large sized holes to accommodate the air intake and exhaust. I did the same thing for the VFD box for my bench top mill. Although that box is plastic and this one is fairly thick metal so it's going to be a chore.  Sweat

Just so you don't think I'm sloughing off, here are a few pictures. I'm ending up having to rearrange the shop space for the new mill. I had originally laid it out for my bench-top mill but that arrangement isn't going to work for the new mill. I've been cleaning and purging lots of stuff from the basement to make room. I should have purged a lot of the stuff a long time ago. Oh well, it's getting done now.  Sweat

I'm about ready to run the wiring for powering the mill. I still have some cleaning/rearranging/purging to do but my goal is to have all of that done by next weekend so I can start to concentrate on the dis-assembly of the mill. We'll see if I reach my goal since work has me exhausted most days.

The layout including the bench-top mill.

   


The new layout.

   


Where the lathe is currently located. You can see I still have some rearranging to do.

   

Where it will move to. Those shelves have to come down.

   

The shop area.

Well I think you should move the workbench, desk and tool grinder just so they don't feel left out   Big Grin

The workbench grew by 6" so that's a good thing. Big Grin

I'm doing exactly the same thing at the moment Ed, as I am about to take delivery of a two post clear floor vehicle hoist. Whilst doing the scale drawing and moving things around the computer screen is great, I still have issues looking at the space in 2D and then in 3D.

What is that thing at the bottom of all your pictures Ed? 17428

Is that what people refer to as a "floor"? Chin Blush

It's a cementitious surface so it must be the floor.  Happyyes
So that's what they look like.  Chin
