It will be assumed that machines are securely mounted/attached/bolted down since not doing so contravenes the most basic of workshop safety rules, and common sense.

Re: Vise, Vise, Baby

You can save money in the long run by not being cheap and buying good quality first time around :D Dad taught me that one, if it's a big set like drill bits, taps, dies or sockets he did say that a moderately priced kit will get you going and you can then replace the ones you wear out or break with ...

Such a setup would have no benefit.
If your starting conditions can be assumed not to change that's true :D

Re: Water cooling a 12HP air cooled motor

Why not use an air/water intercooler and fan to provide large volumes of cool air through the motor's air cooling?

If you add in a heat pump you'll pull more heat energy out of the system than with a heat exchanger alone.

Re: Preparing Machines for Moving

Professional machine movers are not cheap but know what they are doing, and are full insured.
Don't mess them about if they are professional and insured.
