I envy all you guys with dedicated shops. My shop is the 3rd bay of a three car garage, with a little overflow into the second bay.
My equipment begins with my newest acquisition, a 12x36 Birmingham gear head lathe. 2hp, D1-4 spindle, 1.5" spindle bore, power feed both directions; came with 3 jaw, 4 jaw, faceplate, 4 tailstock chucks (2 NIB), 4 live centers, 2 dead centers, (2) 3/4" insert tools, insert boring bar, set of (6) Micro 100 boring bars, insert threading tool set, assorted tools, follower rest, (2) steady rests, metric & US thread gears.
It had a problem with the cross slide binding occasionally, and excessive play in the cross slide screw- both fixed now with no money spent. (went from .120 play to .0015 play)
I have a quick change tool post on order, and I also have a 5C collet chuck & (40) collets for it. If you are familiar with the Grizzly 12x36gh, this machine is virtually identical.
Next is my Samson Vertical Mill, (Taiwanese copy of a Bridgeport) has 3 axis digital readout. Bought it years ago for an unbelievable price, fresh off a complete rebuild.
