Stand for milling machine

You can do much better than the warco offering. Remember, theirs is made down to a price and for maximum profit.

Ymost all parameters.ours may turn out to be much the same cost, but streets ahead on

….so much better if the corner joints had been mitre joints, that really would be a proper job.

That's a lot of work for no benefit. The CNC mill sits on the four pads in the corners. So most of the load falls on the end frames. The way it is designed the end frames are stable without the welds. The welds simply keep things aligned, they don't take a significant load, as they would if the joints were mitred.

Plus the open ended tubes may come in handy for storage

If doing it with Box then diagonals like Andrew has are better than using a steel sheet to provide triangulation as it may drum and vibrate. If It were me making one I'd space the legs front to back to suit some full extension draw runners and have several draws for storage of cutters and tooling, saves ferreting about in the back of a cupboard and keeps swarf off your tooling.
