I also work out of a two car garage and do machining, welding, grinding, powdercoating, metal forming and a little woodworking in the same space. I keep my RF30 mill/drill, 9x20 lathe and Atlas 7b shaper covered when not in use. The lathe and my surface plate are the only things that are not on castors in the whole shop and with that small of a space with that much machinery just about everything needs to move when different processes are going on. And the things that don't move are the hardest to clean around and under. Any inacuracies with lathe, mill, and shaper were not due to being moved in my experience. They were from mis adjustment, bad QC, wear and lack of experience. And all have gotten better with time and experience. YMMV.
