Pimp My Pro- Mods and Addons

After getting a lot of good ideas from this thread I though I would share what I ended up doing.


For the cart I did the same thing that Hellbent did and I love it.

Then I added two hooks on the back made out of 1/4 round bar to hold the air hose and extension cord.

Next I built a guard for the screw that could also hold the cable drag for the wires. I used 12 gauge which I cut out with the table and welded together. I also added in a piece that closed the gap between the guard and the table to prevent sparks and/or water from hitting the top of the components below.


I attached that guard using a simple slot that could slide in behind the table bolts

For the water table I was not impressed at all with the welding job they did when they made the table so I got a sheet of stainless and made a solid one piece water table.


I put one drain in the middle which I have a strainer made for sinks in to catch all the debris when I drain the table. The drain system underneath goes from a stainless steel 2x3/4 fitting that changes to PVC tube and attaches to a spigot on the outside of the table, much like Hellbent did.

For the screw that rides on the carriage I added another guard to protect the screw as well as giving me a place to attach the cable drag for the Z-Axis wires. I used anther slot bracket to attach the guard


For the last guard I have something that comes up and over the screw. My thinking was to protect it from things being dropped on it and people leaning against it.

This guard is attached with a bracket that come down and uses the table bolts on the inside of the frame.

My final modification was to add a better laptop stand. The one I bought with the table was way to flimsy in my opinion so I made a stiffer one.

The best part about cutting all of these on the table was that I was able to play with the table and become better and more efficient at running the machine. Hope this gives someone some ideas of mods they want to do :grinning:
