Lathe placement in the workshop
Hi folks,
My first metal lathe arrives on Monday - it's big enough that I *really* don't want to move it once it's in place... I'm a complete newbie when it comes to metal lathes (although I'm pretty practiced with my wood lathe).
How do folks position their lathes in the shop? For instance - I was planning to have the back against a wall - should I leave myself some clearance behind? Can the tailstock end be parked close into a corner without causing myself pain?
Cheers,
Danny
