Hey all,
First, the quick line of inquiry, then the rest: How much clearance do you actually need around the SV-2412S? Manual from Sharp says 800 mm in the back. I can make this fit, but if I could get away with less, I'd like to. The lateral dimensions are all fine. Normally I'm a by-the-book type of guy, but given limited space, it would be nice to save some extra room.
As for the "about me" portion, I'm new to the forum (longtime lurker) looking to pick up a secondhand SV-2412S for my garage. Mostly do small-scale prototyping for hobby projects, but I'd really like to add CNC to my existing all-manual garage shop (Tree 2-UVR and 13" Leblond Regal). I've got a low garage door, which severely constrains my options for a VMC, and of the machines I can identify that fit, I've pretty much settled on the SV-2412S. Before I take the plunge though, I'd like to determine exactly how much room I'll have left for future expansion, and obviously siting a ~6k lb machine is something you only want to do once if you can help it.
Can anyone tell me why Sharp selected that clearance? Is there a door or access panel in the back that might require almost 3 feet of clearance to properly access, or is there a thermal demand that requires adequate airspace to cool, or did the engineers just figure that was a reasonable number (I doubt it's this last one)?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
