See if you can locate one of those old enclosures we used to use for printers. Either that or put it into a walk-in closet with a lot of clothes. Those PCB milling machines make a lot of noise.

And keep plenty of extra cutters available as they tend to wear out quickly, even the carbide ones.

Other than that, those things are wonderful to have available especially for high frequency RF work.
