CNC Routered Emergency Stop Case

By

I finally got around to picking up a big red emergency stop switch for my taig CNC milling machine. After checking my spare parts bins I realized that I didn’t have a case to mount it in but I did have lots of 1/4-inch mdf lying around. I fired up my CAD program and drew up a flat-pack style of box that I could cut out on the CNC router table.

All of the pieces were cut from one piece of MDF in a single run.

Now all I need to do is glue all the pieces in place, paint it black and wire up the switch.
