All my recent workshops that had concrete floors I've lined with 18mm OSB (oriented strand board) directly screwed down and 'floor painted'. It makes a very durable floor that is kind to your feet and kind to the occasional dropped tool. Also easily swept.

I am still in the old new house Mike, the ex had a change of heart and she moved out not me : ) I have concrete floors so no limits, unless it won't fit through the garage doors. I didn't get the lathe which is fine, someone else got a great deal and I don't have to move it. At some point I really need to stop buying machines. I just bought a great three speed vertical bandsaw, the price was too good to pass up. I have two now though? The new one is a much nicer machine though!

Shawn, I, for one, am ticked off. I was looking forward to experiencing your turret lathe with you.
