Introduction: CNC Enclosure
After building a CNC machine I quickly realized I needed something to enclose the machine for both noise mitigation and dust control. So I built a pretty simple OSB box. The sound has been greatly reduced as has the dust. The project required two 4'x8' OSB sheets, about six 2"x4"s, and a 24" x 28" plexiglass pane. Regular square drive screws were used to attach all sides.
A normal conversation can now be had while watching the machine do its thing. A very worthwhile project for loud CNCs.
Thanks for taking a look.

Does the dust stick to the plexiglass?

I use this stuff to keep my plexiglass and glasses clean-ish

Add a bit of weatherstripping to the area around the door... it will help a bit more. Also consider some magnetic catches or even a gate catch so you don't have to keep latching the bungee cord.

@sleeping - Not much. I was going to put in two windows but decided that one was enough on the side. Thanks to taking a look.
