Selecting Machines For A Home Shop
Say you want to setup a home shop for both metal and wood
working....what older American or European machines would you choose to populate the shop with? In a home shop environment, the size of the work envelope can vary greatly with the work done so a number of different candidates exist for the same function performed. With welders, I would consider that newer machines might be more desirable. I have listed what categories I would consider might be wanted in a combination metal and wood work shop for the serious hobbist. I look forward to hearing of your choices and the reasons why. And feel free to add any tool that I might have forgotten. Thanks TMT = Metalworking - vertical mill - horizontal mill - metal shaper - slower drill press - small metal lathe - larger metal lathe - horizontal metal bandsaw - vertical metal bandsaw - surface grinder - bench grinder - band/disc sander - belt sander - tool grinder - air compressor - arbor press - hydraulic press - heat treating furnace - bender, brake, shear, slip roll = Woodworking - table saw - cross miter saw - radial arm saw - scroll saw - vertical wood bandsaw - jointer - planer - wood shaper - wood lathe - faster drill press = Welding - ARC welder - TIG welder - MIG welder - A/Ox welder = Material Handling - SMALL forklift (1000-2000lbs.) - Pallet jack |
