Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Just got 3-in-1 machine from Harbor Freight

You'll have lots of fun over the next few months... First up, I would
strongly suggest you add some diagonal cross braces between the legs of
your bench. Currently you have only minimal lateral support - i.e. if
you lock the bench wheels and push on the machine from one end, the
table could collapse, possibly squashing the family cat or worse...

You might also add a lower shelf at the same time - to store all the
tooling you will accumulate.

Work safely and have a blast!

Cheers, Peter
