Hello fellow Millrighters! I feel terrible always contacting Derek with trivial questions although hes been nothing but helpful... so hopefully I can reach out to the community for this one. Recently purchased a power route, and am currently on the road for work so can't get these measurements myself. I'd like to plan on building an enclosure for it. I've gotten overall dimensions from derek (49" wide, 38" deep including the Y stepper), but those included the control box. Would someone be so kind to provide the footprint of just the machine itself? Thank you!  |

Derek to the rescue. hah. Everything else is the same, just 37" wide.

I think it would be just as easy to build a dedicated room for it! That thing is humongous.  |

I think it would be just as easy to build a dedicated room for it! That thing is humongous. I will be giving it its own room! I was hoping I could just plop it on a work bench but most of them are only 36 deep... Anyways, I'll share the enclosure I've mocked up out of 8020... The machine will live indoors (dont have the luxury of a huge workshop) so I will have to enclose everything and build a dust / chip excavating setup. (Yes I know the stepper motor outline is facing the wrong way  )  Hopefully I will follow up once everything comes into fruition over the next month or so |

Awesome. Looks like a nice habitat for the PR.

I haven't received mine, but from the assembly instructions it appears that the Y drag chain is attached to the control box. Is there enough wire length to run the control box outside the enclosure? |

fyddler, I am planning to have the box outside. I haven't fully assembled it. I hope the Y drag chain can be mounted to something else, if not I will fab something. If the wires are too short I don't think it would be too hard / be a problem to extend them. |
