Anyone know what the paint color or paint code is for a mid eighties
KMB1 Hurco mill? Seems to be a light or pale blue, but since the
paint is mostly in decent shape I'd like to just redo the side facing
the spindle...if I can find a reasonable match. One source says that
one of Sherwin William's industrial epoxy shades is pretty close, but
he couldn't recall the name or type. I called Hurco and they have no
record of the paint code used.
The second issue is chip control. This machine spews chips and
coolant all over my garage floor making it into a dangerous skating
rink. Has anyone made workable shields for one of these older open
plan machines? I'm thinking of a drop on shield, maybe 15" high,
that form fits around the back and both sides of the table, with
removable lexan doors on the front. This would limit the work
envelope to the size of the table, but for most of my stuff I don't
think this will be a major issue.
