What will the power and space requirements be? Have we already identified a good place for this machine to live? Will the fairly dusty environment of the shop pose problems? If it can't go in the shop, is it prohibitively loud/smelly/unpleasant to be around? The upstairs isn't suitable for equipment of that nature. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 09:22, 4 May 2015 (CDT) | What will the power and space requirements be?
