This is my little 2 car garage shop. Works well, little tight at times.

Wow those look like crap. Soon as my camera batteries recharge I'll give it another try.

What's the silver device on the surface plate? (One in the background appears to be a height gage, but what's the foreground device?)

Bryan, that looks like a tool presetter for the milling machine tools. Dave, you crammed a lot in a small space, looks nice and clean though. Thanks for sharing, and good luck.

Blair has it, it's a Dorian tool presetter.

Wow, awesome air compressor. And a very impressive use of space!

Yes the AC is great, very quiet 20+ CFM. 6CFM is for the mill and the other 16CFM is for my two kids who constantly play with the air gun.

So a kid between about 4-6 years old uses about 8CFM I figure.

Playing with air guns can be dangerous. I know you are not supposed to use them to blow dust from your coveralls.

SteelCutter · Jan 8, 2007

especially if you blow the dust from inside out whistler :eek:

Nervis,

Very nice shop!

When looking at your air compressor, is the blue cabinet to the left your transformer?

My Atlas Copco has just suffered a bearing failure... $2700.00 for the rebuild only and I am looking at a simliar machine.
I think I see an hour meter on the cabinet?

Thanks & Good Luck!

The blue box on the ground far left is a phase perfect phase converter, then moving right Chicago Pneumatic (Atlas Copco rebranded) 5 HP rotary AC, and Hankison air dryer hanging on the wall.

Yes there is an hour meter on there. I got it from:

So what do you build with that stuff? BTW, very inspiring shop.

D. Rey · Jan 10, 2007

I make just about anything that strikes me, spend the week thinking of projects and 'gramming them with CAD/CAM, usually cut stuff on the weekends. Do the odd job when it comes around like parts for a sand rail builder and radio control aftermarket parts for a local supplier.

Nervis,

Great price on the compressor.

Where was your compressor built? Atlas Copco has factories world-wide. It could have been built in Sweden or Spain?

Thanks,

Tom

D. Rey · Jan 11, 2007

Sticker says made in the EU.

Great shop nice use of small space.How well do you like the Haas?

D. Rey · Jan 12, 2007

I like it a lot, hauls compared to my old Fadal and is the most machine I could get for my coin.

DONALDT · Feb 25, 2007

was it hard to set it up using the phase convertor .does that air compressor make alot of noise when its running

D. Rey · Feb 25, 2007

The phase perfect is wires in, wires out. Takes about 2 minutes to hook up. The air compressor is 62 db when running. Sounds like a hair dryer.

DONALDT · Feb 25, 2007

SO THAT MEANS WHEN YOUR YOUR RUNNING YOUR SHOP YOU NEVER GET COMPLAINS FROM NIEGBORS. I am just curious because I dont want to purchase some like thise then I wil have the city come knowking on my door.

zmachine · Mar 16, 2007

Very nice shop. I started off in a 16 X 20 I know what you mean you make every sq inch count. I am crouius how hard was it getting the Haas in there ? The door looks to be 6 ft tall maybe ? My biggest problem was chip disposal, now I have a guy that comes buy once a week and I give himm all of it, ecept for brass , bronze or aluminum, I keep some 55 gal cans for that. That stuff is like gold now.
