   Hello Snag, everyone   
      
   I haven't got any machine tool(s) yet.   
   What risked some serious problems was not getting things with my home   
   done.  So put up a fence (and every learning thing that entailed -   
   complexity was when the fence was originally made the set the upright   
   timbers into the wall as it was being built - which didn't make for an   
   easy replacement(!) [BTW "SDS Max" standard seems well worth having -   
   I've got pick and chisel bits 900mm long and they work well - and the   
   shank is strong enough you can waggle the drill around to free them is   
   they get nipped - I'd say masonry drill up to 16mm go SDS; greater than   
   16mm go SDS Max])   
   I would have had the roof of the outbuilding boarded-out in another   
   half-day, but the 'flu struck and that was over 3 weeks ago.  Proved to   
   have been a bad one - quite a spike in people ending up in hospital - to   
   put it in perspective.   
   I liked the look of a "Myford ML7R" on sale locally - but you cannot win   
   'em all.  Timing can not work out.   
      
   I've been told - you really really want to have a cover for precision   
   machine tools if the workspace is mainly a welding and metal-fab. space.   
      
   Best wishes to you all and a happy Christmas,   
   Rich S
