Jason,

Nice shop.

By any chance did that little Okuma lathe didn't come from Brothers Machinery?

Usualy takes a second look to grab your one liners Ox, but I actually spied that one before reading your post

Smart looking place & machines Jason, thanks for sharing, what sort of stuff do you produce ?

Very VERY nice shop! Are you in the cellar of your own home? If so, it seems you've got decent height under the joists, so I envy you that.

BTW, what town are you in? I'm in Spencer.

Nice shop I like the tooling setup you have, The only thing is the machines are a little new for me. But then I don't make a living with mine.

Yes its in the basement of my house, as for beam height if you look in the corner of a few of the picks you can see that i had to cut a portion of the beam out to get the 560 in and make it so i could bolt it back together when it was through. the machine went under the beam on 1/2 rollers with a 1/8 of claerence.

I do a lot of prototype work, and some repair work.

Jason,

That is a Awsome looking shop . Thanks for sharing.

Jason,

That looks great. I like to see home-shops like yours and Wrustle, and Ox's.

Let's me know I'm not to far out there, wanting to add equipment and stay home, too.

I hope to be there someday.

Yours is lookin' good

I like being home with my shop the plan is to put up a 30x40 shop about 50 feet from where my shop is now i hope to start the building in a few months. i need to add one more machine (and fast)a small cnc lathe, any one of any chap ones for sale in the MA,NH area I really wanted to buy a nakamura slant jr ($4000) that went up for sale but i missed out.

Jason,

Wow, Jason, nice shop!

Yep, a Nakamura Slant Jr would be an excellent cnc lathe for you. A rugged, accurate lathe. Methods sells and supports both Matsuura and Nakamura....so that would be a big plus.

thats why i want a nakamura only having to deal with one company for parts and support would be so nice.

jason,

Very nice shop I didn't realize it was in the basement of your house until it was mentioned.

Man - I bet them stairs are a killer. Brings new meaning to Johnny's "One Piece at a Time".

Hows about coolant smell upstairs?

A) You got a big smog hog down there?

B) Or no wife?


Manual machines you can prolly git away with, but once you gt into CNC territory - there WILL be coolant to smell!

Think Snow Eh!

no smog hog the vmc's are out in the garage part of the basement and there is a deck above the garage, the coolant doesn't stink (trim E206) surprisingly it doesn't go into the house when I'm running them, so far (3 months). manuals are worse i don't use the mister unit on the knee mill because it goes up into the house a lot faster.

oh and ahhh.... no wife
