Just bought a couple of hardwood dollys so I can move the machines in once I get them.
Zee.............I grabbed this from an earlier post of yours. Have you decided for sure on what machines you're going to be getting?
Sort of reminds me when I got married. It wasn't until later that I realized...YEAH! RIGHT! I DID GOOD!
I find nothing wrong with that decision. The machine one that is. The wife one must've been good also to keep you around Eric

have one end of a long bar sticking out the side, off the mill table, while milling or drilling at the end. And on the lathe, space for a bar to stick back through the headstock.My $0.02
Thanks Gerrit! It's machining that backing plate that has me worried. But that's due to my inexperience.Still...no problem to give it a go. If I mess up, I can try again.Hopefully the usual pattern of 3rd try is charm will hold.

Some people would argue that stock sticking out of lathe can be dangerous without a support, but I confess to doing so from time to time.

On a sherline lathe it can only be 3/8" diameter, but long as you like as long as you can support and control the whip. For the mill, I've had 3 or 4 foot parts out the side a number of times, the end supported on an adjustable bar.

Also 5C collet chuck capability! What do you mean "thread creep"! Well only a little bit!Jim
