    Default Help me squish more machines into this space!

    The tetris game continues. Here's the original thread from a few months ago.
    Bandsaw arrived. And now I need to work out where to fit a belt and disc sander, spindle sander, and a 16/32 drum sander on the way too.

    This setup is working for me. I work to max length of 2400 (vertical storage capacity), and this setup gives enough infeed/outfeed for TS and the jointer/thicknesser. Bandsaw outfeed goes straight out the door, so I can rip there too if I want. Router table isn't too much in the way, unless I'm ripping long stock on the TS. Easy to roll it out the way, especially since it runs on dust extractor, and doesn't need to be connected to dust collector.

    All the machine roll away to the right hand side, and back walls.

    I'm thinking I could put the belt and disk and OSS onto a mobile cart and squish it in between jointer and bandsaw. Like this.

    Not ideal. It clashes with the planer/thicknesser combo, but it's mostly out of the way of the bandsaw. I can probably live with this. I'll use the sanders with the bandsaw all the time, but it would be uncommon to be planing/thicknessing at the same time as sanding. So it won't be there when it matters anyway.

    What about drum sander? I'm considering squeezing it in behind the table saw outfeed table, running perpendicular, and on a mobile base. It needs to be in proximity to DC run. Since it's a finishing tool, I'm anticipating that it will be sized parts going through this machine, and it won't always be there. When it is in position, I can still crosscut and rip on the TS up to about 1200, and if needed, I can rip on the BS anyway.

    Whaddaya think? Am I missing something here?

    Cheers, -RW

    Everything on wheels and move to the centre when in use.
    Table saw can stay where it is.

    I put the bandsaw behind my panel saw, if you standing at the operation point of the panel saw, the bandsaw is on your right hand side behind the table/panel saw, you save some space this way, every inch counts.

    Thanks. Yep, everything is on wheels, inc. Table Saw. Everything goes to the wall when I pack up.

    I like this idea, but not for my shop. With the bandsaw back there, I'd have limited rip capacity, and it's awkward for DC. Where the bandsaw is right now, I can rotate it 90 degrees to the wall and fit the car in no problem.

    Maybe I'll make a double level rolling cart and put drum sander on the bottom, with belt/disc sander, and spindle sander on top.
    I could then run any of those machines in a few different positions, like a) where the planer/thicknesser or b) where the router table is.
    With a shop this small, I guess you've gotta accept that you can't have all tools out and ready at any given time.

    There's your problem, cars are waterproof, tools are not

    Even in the new (12 yr old) shed, that no vehicle will ever go near, My Bandsaw, Thicky, Jointer and Spindle Moulder are on wheels. This is to leave a central area clear, so I can use 1 tool at a time and allows for temporary use of the space to many purposes.

    I get the appeal of the various flip/rotate options and there are some great ones out there.
    The drum sander is a bit awkward, being wide, tall, and heavy. I don't think it'll be too bad to operate it from the low cabinet position.
    Keeps it simple.
