who the hells gonna run it?
Me! I ran the old shop. I'll run this one. But like I mentioned, I was not there for the purchase of the equipment back then and am trying to make sure I make the best source choice since this time it's my responsibility.

Machine size was not so much the issue of my question as was the source. I would be very happy with a pair of machines similar to what we had at the old shop. They met our needs well.

We will use water soluble coolant, and we can have it disposed of by the same company that picks up our other waste chemicals.

We rarely stored much metal as our needs are low and the supplier is only 1/2 mile away. (We are in an industrial park.)

The floor is not "laser level" but it is flat enough that the machines will need minimum shimming or leg adjustment.
