We've got a new shop on the horizon and while I've been at this for a while I'm guilty of being in my own bubble. So I'm curious what are the things that you love or hate about the shops you've worked in?
We're a small factory and do zero job shop work. We've got one VMC and will have another on order once the building is sorted. There's also a DS30Y lathe and we will likely add a second turning center next year and maybe a 3rd at some point. We also do a decent amount of assembly and have 4-5 assembly stations for specific products to work into things.
Thing's already on my list to do:
Epoxy the floors, would love a product recommendation though.
Exhaust all the machines.
Centralized coolant system with drops to each machine.
Direct-able duct for screw compressor, winter/summer mode.
Floor level mop sink in tumbler room.
Update to modern led lighting.
Curious what else the community will suggest to make our new space better.
