I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to arrange machines in my shop. I have a large G&L No. 45 boring mill and 3 large lathes 20" X 12', 36" X 10' & 52" X 16'. They are where they have to go and stay due to their size and the need for room to load them. They are not grouped together the boring mill is flanked on both sides by the smaller and medium size lathe.
I have Bridgeport mills, smaller lathes drill presses, 1 CNC mill and 2 CNC lathes. When I moved into my new building I didn't have time to really place things in any order I set machines where there was electricity to get them running. they are all over the place.
My question is how should they be grouped? All the mills together, CNC & manual? All the lathes together? CNC with CNC? Manual with manual? Does it matter? Am I putting to much thought into this?
