Where can I buy a small drawer cabinet

I ave this CNC mill

http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Bridgeport-Series-II-Interact-2-CNC-Mill/

And in the pendant, there is empty space where the original Heidenhain
control once was. There is a rectangular space inside where I could
fit a drawer cabinet, 10" wide, 8" tall, 10" deep. I would like to buy
something that would be as close as possible to this, but not exceed
this dimension. Two or three drawers would be ideal, I would keep
measuring tools, probe etc, in there to be used on the mill.

So, where can I find something like this. Steel, wood, plastic all
OK. I would say that each shelf needs to hold 5 lbs of stuff.

I've gotten several cabinets in sizes similar to what you're describing
from Wal-Mart, and have seen them at Harbor Freight and in the Jameco
catalog.

Maybe the trick is to find the drawers or cabinet and then interface it
inside and out to fit the needed surfaces.

It could be a sheet metal job - bending brake....
But I like the idea of a pre-built box with structure.

Maybe a Rubber Maid bucket that seals out coolant! Build a door.

Now is the time to learn woodworking and start your own wood shop
area! Joking.

Find a neighbor with a woodworking shop and trade him something for
the shelves.
