Don't forget the total width the machine needs – start at table length + travel + hand-wheels, as a rough guide.

Milling-machines take a lot more room than you might think!

Watch too for overhead room, depending on the machine type. I am not familiar with the WM16B but some, such as my Myford VMC with its hinged pulley cover, or those with a big upwardly-pointing motor, need appreciable headroom.

Back to front of tray ( or even front to back ) is 520mm . Handle sticks ou a further 100mm to the end of then handle

I have my Warco WM16 on a wooden bench 550mm deep. The chip tray is 50mm from the wall and is 480mm deep. This is about as close as you can put it to the wall so that you can turn the column handle without your knuckles hitting the wall. The y axis handle protrudes about 100mm in front of the chip tray. The mill x axis table is 700mm wide and 930mm wide across the x axis handles plus you need extra space each side for the x axis travel. (About 200mm each side).

Hope this info is useful.

Yo Clay – welcome to the 16B club

There are a few errors in the Warco website,

I found one of them the hard way – the chip tray dimensions are the wrong way round, you need 520mm depth to fully support the tray, 500 is fine, mine is even less and the base of the machine is fully supported.

The distance of the Z-axis wheel to the wall is OK, I will be putting some slippy plastic on the rough wall nevertheless.

The machine is not as high as the maximum height listed, so I didn't have to move my lights.

My brain is failing – please use the link under my name to see the pictures. Other wise here is my thread:
