The first Clausing I found as an example for you was a 10"X36", for a bit more money, but I thought that might be a bit much in your small shop. I recall your concerns about the relatively thin concrete slab floor. The Sheldon lathe sounds nice too. Not sure about the CNC conversion, but you can figure that out when you look at it. A good lathe is likely to have a three phase motor. You'll probably want to power it with a single phase VFD with a three phase output, but that severely limits the lathe horsepower. A little thinking about that in advance, and some internet research, could save you from buying a lathe only to realize you need an expensive rotary phase converter... and even then you'd probably still need to upgrade your single phase power. It's easy to succumb to lathe lust and forget obvious details like this until it's too late.

I-40 in Tennessee has a very bad (and very well deserved) reputation for this sort of state sanctioned highway robbery. YouTube has some great local news reporting and other stories describing this shocking practice. Search YouTube for "highway asset forfeiture" for a real education. Most people have no idea this sort of thing can happen, until it happens to them. This is good to remember for anyone making a trip to buy used machinery with cash, as I've done in the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
