CNC mill in the garage may have coolant freezing issues in the winter

@Netduke That's what I was worried about (temperatures)... But the garage does not dip below about 50 degrees. On a side note, I am not sure whether I'll use flood coolant or my Trico MD-1200 'mister' which I already own...

Looking good. Curious about indicating the drill press table with the heavy vise on it. If you'll get any flexing. Or maybe youre not concerned for that machine.

@mackdawg100 It's a drill press - it flexes all the time ;)

what type of XY table was that on that drill press?

@McMike321 use-enco.com part number 201-2826. Made by Phase II

Drill press vise not accurate? It is a DP vise and it isn't a Heinrich. I'd be more concerned about the slop in the cheap X/Y table.

Man i wish i had a work space like you... :) i can not spend my money because of the lack of space haha

@dlmarti That's what I was thinking - I'll either do folding legs or maybe threaded pipe... need to think about it - but I hear ya re: keeping the table top open.

I also like having the welder in the garage in case I'm working on bigger projects where I don't (or don't have room) to bring it into the shop.
