Very impressive working shop. I have a Rockwell 14" Bandsaw that also has the gearbox to slow the blade down to metal cutting speeds. It's a 1960's vintage and a beast. Since my shop is in the basement, everything needs to be dismantled to get down the stairs and at 66 years old, I cannot horse things around like I used to. I also scored this bandsaw at a local auction and was delighted to only part with $150 bucks to win the bidding. Now you're going to make me start looking for General drill presses and it looks like you've cornered the market on those but I need a 17" so maybe there's one out there for me.

Its impossible to be dust free, but that doesn’t mean you give up the good fight. You should definitely have at least a dust collector to contain most of the large debris and some of the finer particles, but then add to that an actual air cleaner and you should be fine for most applications. In the event of sanding, always wear a dust mask.

Hard to find anyone who has the polish and put you at ease manner that he has. End result... A very enjoyable, interesting, and fun stroll through a first rate pro shop.

Rob, your disappointment with single phase motors at and above 5HP is no surprise to me! The cost, maintenance, starting inrush (lights dimming, additional power demand fees by your elect. supplier, etc.) "softer" starts, and highly increased efficiency & power delivery of 3-phase motors, along with the reduced cost and complexity, are all good reasons to have a discussion with your favorite electrician about electronic phase converters. I was an industrial electrical contractor for 20 years, and had a great number of customers who had only single phase power available and were delighted with electronic phase converters. They are much less expensive and straight forward than rotary phase conversion... rotary converters have their place & purpose, but I believe digital might serve you better. One electronic converter can serve a number of lesser HP motors on the same circuit. A future friend, and admirer, Jay O.

Great tour of a very impressive business setup. Since I (hopefully).will be moving into my new one man shop in a couple months I would be really interested in how you move all that heavy equipment around. Is it just raw muscle power and brute force or do you use some kind of mechanical machinery or forklift? My brother and brother-in-law helped me move my equipment into storage in 2020 but I’ve been told in no uncertain terms that they are both busy this year. The table saw, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, and even my work bench are way beyond moving by myself. We just moved here about a year ago so I don’t know anybody with strong kids. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
