Before getting serious with the Pocket NC V2-50CHK, I want to build an enclosure for it. Although there is one available to buy commercially, I wanted to build a custom one myself that has:

• more vertical clearance underneath the B axis so that I can use longer stock in the ER-40 collet
• excellent access to the machine when open
• excellent visibility of the machine when closed
• built-in LED lighting

I plan to make the enclosure using 80-20 style aluminium profile and fittings from KJN.

Gas-struts will keep the lid up when in the open position:

Basic dimensions and a more detailed view at each of the sections:
