I have been looking for a way to catch the oil drips and some of the chips from my PM1340GT. I had noticed a couple of our friends here had put catch pans under the bed and the quick change gearbox to accomplish this.
I took some measurements and went to Walmart to buy some cheap pans. I think I found the ticket.
A small loaf pan (4.4 x 8.4 x 2.50) and baking pans (21 x 15 x 1). I bought two of the baking pans and one of the loaf pans. While the baking pans will cover the length of the bed, I will likely only use one on the headstock end the majority of the time.
I trimmed the loaf pan on a bevel so the levers would not be impeded and it is easily pulled out. It should catch the majority of that oil that drips out and makes such a big mess. Cleaned the machine up last night to get these pans in place on a clean machine. Now ready to make a mess again. Hopefully these pans will help cleaning it up from time to time. I hate a mess.
