The machine stand is shipped in two crates. One crate is the base and the other crate has the various sheet metal parts that form the tray.
This construction saves considerably in shipping cost while also making it easier to put the machine on the stand. You put the machine on the base first, then bolt the tray pieces onto the base. This is much easier than having to lower the machine into the tray. It does, however, require you to use some sealant when mounting the tray pieces.

This
photo shows the lower left side of the base. This is the door where the coolant system is kept. The flash reflections show some imperfections in the sheet metal. It's a sturdy stand and a great value, but don't expect the fit and finish you find on a BMW.
Now we open the left side cabinet door to find the coolant system. The silver horizontal handle is a pull out chip collection drawer. The big blue hose drains down to the tank. The pump is on the left of the tank, with a shielded hose running up to the machine action. The tank and tray are steel. The pump is 115 VAC.
Now we jump over to the right side. This cabinet is intended for the control computer, but you can put anything you want into it. Notice the ribs under the wings of the tray.
The machine feet come with extra long studs. If you adjust them out far enough you can easily move the machine with a pallet jack.
This makes it easy to use the machine for secondary operations, just park it next to whatever VMC needs finishing ops on the part you're running.
Front storage cabinet. Look closely and you can see some interior shelves.
Table mounted
guard. The stand has mysteriously disappeared from the picture.
The acrylic insert slides out for easy access. Also note the coolant hose mounting.
Please do not forget, the stand package includes the base, coolant pump, coolant tank, coolant hose, and the table mounted guard. It does NOT include the LCD & Keyboard mounting arm. We highly recommend the LCD and keyboard arm.
