[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1797808, member: 69478"] I don’t have my own personal shop yet, but I work in a machine shop and I’m a machinist. Lathes can be messy but it depends what you’re doing with it. If you’re just threading and chambering rifle barrels, you’ll only have about a cup full of chips to clean up. You’ll have to run some sort of coolant when you chamber, but you can keep that contained if you block it from going all over the place. If I was spending a lot of time running the lathe, I’d put it in the conditioned room just to stay more comfortable. If you want to keep the full conditioned small room super clean, then I’d just put the lathe in the main shop. Milling machines tend to throw chips all over the place and are a little more messy than a lathe in my opinion and experience. I’d put the mill in the main shop to keep it from throwing chips on things I didn’t want metal chips on. [/QUOTE]
