The control panel is sanded, painted and installed!  No buttons or MPG functionality yet...  But the screen and keyboard are up and the look and feel matches the BP412 too.

How are you coming on the control and spindle drive?

Slow, I can't seem to keep the kids out of the machine...  LOL

I got the cable track done for the control panel.  The cables will run up out of the box into the cable tray and allow the panel to swivel (recycled motorcycle exhaust pipe)

All the welds are in the inside for a clean look, got it sanded and is ready for paint.

A piano hinge was welded to the mounting arm and wedge was made for the bottom.  With the cable tray and wedge installed, the mounting arm is ROCK solid.  The control panel has 1/4 20 screws to connect to the mounting arm.  This way the control panel can be removed as one part.  The same for the cable tray and arm, one assembly that is bolted to the CNC.

Now the control panel is mounted and swings nicely, just need to finish the swivel cable tray from the control to the main tray.

Using 2 chunks of angle, we welded up the the cable tray.  Then with square tube, the control mounting arm was fabricated and welded to cable tray.

I put an offset in the control arm for cable to route from the box into the tray.
