Milling machine coolant tray

[Dave J]

Thanks Guys.
Tom I am hoping it will keep the floor dry, I still need to add the ones off the column and around the table in preparation for CNC.

After looking at the pictures again I realized that I need to add some detailed pictures.

The hinge I used is 1/2 aluminum tube with a press fit solid aluminum rod inside which was drilled out to 6mm to suit the 6mm bolt.





These stops where a pain to make as they where rebated and the back ones needed to be longer and also have the correct angle because of the tray being different at the back.







It also has plenty of tray in front on the vise, even with the 280-290mm Y travel extension I did.
I could come out more with the tray but didn't want it to be a shin buster or limit me working on the mill.
