ANSWER TO GUIDE RULE - OT
开云体育Not bothered about having flat spaces next to the tools, that’s what benches are for.? They’ll be roughly the same height as my current benches so it’ll work out. ?There might be some depending on how things work out, but smaller is better is it frees up more space. ? I find those flat spaces that the Crasftsmans has are a bit clunky, having to take them off & on whenever you switch tools is probably more trouble than they’re worth. ? Tony ?

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. ? Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer ?

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. ? Most of these set-ups let you go in both directions, mine would only go one way so less chance of it getting away from me. ? I’ve got a CAD model of the lathe, if I had one for the mill I could model the whole thing and see how it balances. ? Tony ? ?

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. ? ralphie |
