New Charter Oak 12Z on the way

[wrmiller]

Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of the chip tray on El Hefe?
I just bought a 12z mill should be here late November early December they are out of stock right now. I already made a stand for it, Paul at CO sent me a dimensional print for the base of the machine to build off of. I just picked up some 16ga cold roll 48x36" today, I plan to make a chip tray for it in the next couple weeks just have to source a bending brake to use. If you had the option would you make the chip tray any larger? Or is it good how it is?

Roughly 37" deep by 47" wide. Edges are bent up and the corners welded. Tray is not centered, it's more biased towards and short of the Y-axis handle so you aren't bothered by it when cranking on the handle.

I was told a 20 amp circuit would handle it, so I had a 30 amp put in.

Is that for the original single phase motor, or the fancy 3hp with vfd?
