Hi folks,
As in my introduction thread mentioned, here are a few (three) pictures of my shop:
The room is 4x5m, more than enough for my needs, but it is located in the basement, a fact that limits the weight of the machines I can move down there...
Main workbench:

Stock storage, Small parts like screws, pins, electronic parts, small tools, soldering iron, a cheap chinese arbor press, etc...the drill press is mostly used for rough jobs, where not much precision is needed.
My lathe, a 9x20 model, nothing special but it works very well. Got a "Multifix" type qctp fitted, which is realy nice..they seem not to be very popular outside of Europe...for those, who don't know them, heres a link:

My milling machines:
![](http://gtwr.de/werkstatt3.jpg)
On the left is a swiss made Aciera F3, ca. 1950 built. Got it from ebay, it was in a baaaaaad condition, the horizontal spindle got a runout of over 0,5mm, the vertical head was missing, everywhere was wooddust (seems that the machine was located in a wood shop). Did a complete rebuild, new paint, new bearings, changed the spindle taper to accept ISO30 tool holders and fitted a vertical head from a german benchtop milling machine.
On the right, my cnc milling machine is located. Its a modified Deckel G2 engraver, 1928 built. Got it without a milling head or the pantograph mechanic, so I built a spindle head from a mini-mill casting of the headstock and a spindle that accepts ER32 collets. Afterwards, I fitted ball screws and stepper motors to all three axis and set the cnc controller up.
The result is a very sturdy little cnc milling machine
