Box section wall thickness - milling machine stand

40 mm box section should be fine. If you want to be sure you could go 50 mm (and let's face it, it'll look cooler too!).

To be honest 2 mm wall thickness would be fine but eh, the difference in price isn't that big.

I've used metals4u and they're pretty good.

I think for cool factor alone 50mm by 3mm would be the choice

2x2x1/8. Decided to use 3/4" plywood for the top.

Very tidy looking stand, nice!

Did your mill come with the power feed on it or did you add it. If the latter, what power feed did you buy?
