I don't see anyway to do it with drilling and tapping the front and back
of the table. Cyanoacrylates maybe... LOL.


Well, I think I figured it out. I was so obsessed with not losing any Y
travel or use of the table I failed to really register that the table length
far exceeds the X Travel. I can bolt a piece of angle (probably something
like 2x2x1/4 aluminum) directly to the T-slots at each and and use that as
the base for constructing the entire enclosure. By suspending the front and
rear skirts under the angle I will be sure not to obstruct my use of the
full Y travel, and I can always run an easily breakable bead of silicone
along the front and rear of the table to contain coolant so I can remove the
enclosure if it does get in the way for some projects.

I had taken my control console apart to extend the arm and get it out of the
way of the enclosure, and I was reassembling it when the obvious answer just
came to me.
