The gantry was purchased as used about 2 years ago, is a 2.8m length, 1.8m wide, small machine compare to my neighbour's 5m long gantry. This machine only for facing, it is not suitable for positioning error is too large (lead screw).
Ill add a fan at the top of that amp some day.
I'm waiting for my new machine cover from Defender for the lathe:
