1364square feet (only 1080 is shop) in a complex in burlington. i don't have much, but will be getting a small lathe, some drill presses and tooling this weekend... will also be getting a real bandsaw and air compressor and some more damn outlets in the next week probably. hopefully within the first year i will have a cnc, the limiting factor though is going to be the small door for it to fit thru so it will have to be quite small.

 

Damn that's pretty nice. Just don't go out Hotrex style Aaron. lol.

 

for real....iv nockd wals down to get a couch in before...... id definatly wouldnt let a door be the limithing factor on you cnc

 

nice, how much u pay for the space?

 

Just to think...it all runs off of one 120v strip oultet, a inverter and a car battery.

 

30 amps worth of 575v 3 phase. the mill only draws 2.5 amps so i shouldn't outgrow it any time soon.

i have a 2 year lease, i'd move before i install a bigger door... if one of the other units with a larger door becomes available it might be an option... the other crappy thing is dock loading. i'd probably start with a smaller cnc anyhow (30x16 range).

i don't plan on doing car related stuff for the most part. i plan on using my background as a tool and die maker to keep myself busy with general maching/ fabrication and hopefully some light tooling repair stuff. the car stuff will just be filler work for when things are slow.

 

Burlington, VT?

 

When's the meet? lol .

 

Congrats and good luck man
