    Just starting out with my collection:
    160A Mig welder
    Stick welder
    8" Pedestal grinder
    12" Cut-off saw
    Various hand power tools
    Some wood working power tools
    Pedestal drill press
    Selection of 1 & 2 m/t drills
    Air compressor
    Air tools
    Toolbox full of spanners, screwdrivers, pliers, etc
    Also plumbed in air lines and quick release couplings around the garage. Looking at a lathe next (hopefully).

    It's impressive to see what some of you guys have as well - some home workshops here would put a lot of engineering shops to shame over here!!

    My little machine shop is in a spare bedroom in my home. I have no useful basement...

    In there I have a 7x10 mini lathe, Taig 2017ER milling machine, drill press, air compressor, small hydraulic press, mechanic's type roll around three level tool box and two sets of shelves.

    It's a bit cramped...

    No good deed goes unpunished.

    My workshop is also a spare room in my house and measures 4.2 metres - although I lose 1 metre for through access, by 2.4 metres.
    In that I have a Sieg C6 lathe, an X2 mill. There's 2 metres of bench space and lots of drawers for tools. Lot of woodworking power tools in there as well
    Not much room for expansion, and only 1 power point

    Regards
    Geoff

    You can buy American Ball-screws From McMasters.com

    Or if you want good Ball-screws, Cheap Price Try this guy in China
    I have Bought over $3000.00 worth of Ball-screws from him, but you will have to wait 3-4 weeks delivery time.
