I'm envious of this build! I need more drawers. Also that post jack + hoist technique is brilliant. PS. I'm genuinely missing your videos, man. Sometimes I come here just to hear your outro music. Content or not, I hope everything's well.
Cristoph, I know I am a bit late to the show, however, I must say your idea is perfect and I might adapt it to my round column Enco mill/drill zx7045. During the process I have been entertaining thoughts of up dating the round column to a square column such as the Optimum offers. Do you think the Optimum column if ordered thru Optimum I could change to the square column with minimal assembly effort?
one thing you can still do is put a oversized piece of aluminium plate on the drawersfronts , it will ide the gaps in between the frame and the drawers and hide the drawerslides looks good , might try someting simulair but use a toolcart or two set of used steel deskdrawers as the base and build the frame around it , the concrete should help a lot against vibrations the meessing around with the ratchetstraps and the millhead looked familliar , had the same thing happening , small tip : get an engine hoist , there not that expensive , it does take in some room even when folded up but there extremely handy for moving heave stuff about the room (yes you can lift the whole mill with it )like workbenches lathes milling machines etc, they make good camera stands too

Thanks man 😁 yeah everything is alright, being busy doing Etsy stuff
I'll probably make a video in December 😬
Very nice work. I like this cabinet. Great
Fantastic build and video!
well that's a pretty good idea
I saw this on the forum, very nicely done.
Nice work 💪🏻
I couldn't help myself - I spottet a "deez nuts" joke or two.
I missed this one when you originally posted. Damn you for the inspiration as this is really cool and I need to do this for my equivalent mill!

Amazing work! So the M20 leveling feet with the hockey puck hold up? No vibration issues when running the mill?
Love it mate, I need a small version for my optimum BF16. Its the baby, it needs extra weight and rigidity👍👌🇦🇺
We would love to watch videos of all details about MB4. thank you for your hard work.
Super!!!!🤟🤟🤟
wow! all of a sudden!.. $300 bucks seems easier to pay for a base!
really great share!
larry
Hahahah 😂
Yeah it really changes perspective, when only the materials cost you more than 300 bucks
Nice! I have bought the same model of mill as you. What do you have for height of the cabinet?
I can tell from watching your videos that another project you should make is a 2*72 belt grinder ;)
Hahah then you should go an watch my first printNC video.😅
Hallo, cool project! How heavy are the individual parts of the MB4 when splitting it up into spindle head, z axis, maschine bed? Thx!
Arround 80-90kg each

looks good , might try someting simulair but use a toolcart or two set of used steel deskdrawers as the base and build the frame around it , the concrete should help a lot against vibrations
the meessing around with the ratchetstraps and the millhead looked familliar , had the same thing happening , small tip : get an engine hoist , there not that expensive , it does take in some room even when folded up but there extremely handy for moving heave stuff about the room (yes you can lift the whole mill with it )like workbenches lathes milling machines etc, they make good camera stands too
thanks for the comment!
a engine hoist has been on my nice to have list for a long time :D but something else always pops up :D
O.@@ChristophLehner
Very cool.
Have you bolted mill base to concrete countertop?
Yes, its bolted through the concrete to the welded I-Beam via 4 M12 Bolts
I gess a CNC conversion will be next .....mmmmmm
do not lead me into temptation 😅
Using linseed oil is a bad idea, all oils change PH factor, concrete slowly becomes more brittle. A good portion of lacquer is what suits best
My resarch showed linseed oil is a common sealer for concrete, but only time will tell i guess
How do you have every single tool ever made. I'm a bit upset, probably because of jealousy...
It's a journey of finacial irresponsibility 😅 it accumulates over the years
