Re: ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE - OT

You have to consider that the Craftsmen "rotary triple" gizmo for three tools also provides a little flat workbench space on each side of the tool.? That is probably useful.? It is true that you could probably fit two doubles in the same space, but you would have next to zero flat working space.? Of course, that may not matter to somebody if they have some flat space elsewhere.

The lathe & mill are roughly the same weight (45kg & 55kg?) and the centre of gravity would be roughly at the pivot point (biased towards the mill as it’s heavier & taller) so flipping wouldn’t involve too much effort. ?

Subject: Re: [7x12MiniLathe] ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE - OT ? Unless it would have an assisting motor, I don't think that I would be able to flip a mini-lathe or a mini-mill.? I can barely lift one, and usually have to disassemble parts of them when considering a location move.? Otherwise, for lighter bench tools, I think it's a great idea.
