No I don't mean around the base of the stand, I mean around the mill.
I have mine enclosed on three sides, hell it would be four if I didn't have to stand there, and it does a great job of stopping chips from flying around the whole shop. Then I just need to sweep and vac the front side...
Looks like a nice stand, but are you going to enclose it or make chip shields on both sides and the rear?
Mills make a hell of a mess and throw chips far and wide, they'll launch right over the sides of your bench top. Flycutters being the worst offenders.
