    Close but no cigarette PJ, the code calls for 1/80 so a 20 foot long garage has a maximum slope of 1/4" towards the doors and 1/8" wall to wall, it is 10' x 20'.

    This little lathe 7" x 12" is quite surprising quality wise, it has no Brand other than MX-180V. I chucked a 3/4" piece of precision ground 316 stainless and ran the dial indicator over it to get a run out of .00039" I don't think I will try and get it better than that. My old 39" between centres 17" swing over the bed (gap bed) the best I could get was .004" so was pleasantly surprised. Checked all surfaces when I stripped it down to clean the preservative off and there is no slop in any of the moving surfaces. All in all a very well made and put together machine from China.

    The bench is quite tiny as the garage is full of one of my other hobbies 7 1/4" live steam locomotives, so the bench will only be 33 1/2" long x 34 1/2" tall and 14" deep, god I hate having to convert from Metric to Imperial, so it's around those measurements . The thread is coarse but should suit the job, have cut out all the 30 x 30 x 3 SHS pieces and now have man flu so am taking it easy for a while, will post pictures as the build progresses.
