OT ,Looks like cardboard around your metal chopsaw as a spark shield , I would suggest sheet metal shield funneled into a water bucket in a wood structure building. In fact I wouldn't have any
cardboard /wood in welding /grinding areas , it's to easy to ignite or smolder for awhile then ignite "don't ask me how I know this"

I thought you were referring to the woodshop. You're right about the metal chopsaw. I keep meaning to weld up a metal shield but have not got around to it yet.

Good Jon, just don't let it bite you in the butt, loosing a shop to fire is no fun

Wow! that isn't a workshop... it's a retail store... plus you can see the floor :eek:... Sooooo clean. I'm jealous...:cry: we over here across the pond haven't got the luxury of 'large spaces' available to us, if we have a 'double garage' (approx' 20' x 16') that's luxury indeed.

"Back to the lathe, I have ordered the PM1030V with the QCTP from Matt at Precision Matthews. It is expected to be be available for pickup in 3 - 4 weeks.

Thanks for all your comments,
Jon"


Jon, I like your shop too. My 40'x64' shop is cluttered and full of everyone else crap. I am dedicating a 16'x20' room to metal working, another 16'x20' room to reloading, Ham radio equipment and an office. the rest is/will be cold storage and wood working.

My PM1030V will hit American soil next week, or so I'm told. If so that will make it around 5 weeks. I ordered the base and QCTP too. If it is half the machine it is supposed to be I will be a happy camper. Welcome from another newbie.

I just noticed this is my first post.

Hi
I have the UK version of the PM1022v (google Warco WM250V-F) virtually the same apart from colour & distance between centres... couldn't have picked a better machine for what you want to do, I enjoy mine, has done me well for the past 3 years... well chosen... enjoy.

Awesome shops, I am just starting to rearrange my workspace and clear out the "junk". What you did there is inspiring. I would be too embarrassed to post a pic of mine in it's present condition, but I'm working on it.
