That looks exactly like my first shop, lathe on the wall, mill in the back corner, even the bathroom is in the same spot, our landlord was too cheap to put in a heater...1250 sq ft ?

I'm gunna say...Two Kitamuras taped together ? or a horizontal with a pallet pool

LOL. That's definitely a long boy.

To the OP: Congrats! Please post more details.

Got power, semi level, went to IMTS to get a idea for tombstones and tooling.
Just trying to catch up on my work load, hunting season too.
Should be firing it up before the end of the year. Spent my wad buying the machine. In conserve mode right now.

Is the machine as long as it looks in the picture? I've seen other Akaris online, and I'm always surprised by the floor space they seem to take up.

Yeah its huge shop is stuffed now, Its 18 ft long,
I only have 1200 sq ft.
