cad for shop layout
there is a program called librecad that made it easy for me to enter the
shop equipment footprints and to rearrange the layout every time i try one of these programs the dreaded learning curve makes me hesitant but this program has a command line so it is super easy to create a block for each piece of equipment and then use those blocks on the master floor plan rec 0,0 24,36 now you have a rectangle and can then add text with just a couple clicks save it to library/shop directory and librecad will see it i probably could have done things by using scaling rather than dimensions but that will have to wait for next time |

I had to try to get across some ideas for the mechanical package for a product I'm doing at work. We didn't have an ME assigned to the project, yet, so I made the drawings in Sketchup, just to get the idea across. every time i try one of these programs the dreaded learning curve makes me hesitant Which is why I use Sketchup. I have better things to do than learn yet another inconsistent software package. but this program has a command line so it is super easy to create a block for each piece of equipment and then use those blocks on the master floor plan rec 0,0 24,36 now you have a rectangle and can then add text with just a couple clicks save it to library/shop directory and librecad will see it i probably could have done things by using scaling rather than dimensions but that will have to wait for next time |

A Jet Bandsaw is likely to be almost exactly the same size as a Delta or a Grizzly. The tool is useful even if you don't own their tools.

As a blanket statement, that's not true. Ridgid has a very limited selection of table saws, while Grizzly has numerous models, some requiring some interesting floor space. http://www.grizzly.com/tablesaws?page=1 A Jet Bandsaw is likely to be almost exactly the same size as a Delta or a Grizzly. The tool is useful even if you don't own their tools. I agree with both of those statements. ;-) |
