    KC 1236ML Lathe Thoughts?

    Anti Fatigue Mats

    Those are perfect as I want to be able to sit on my stool as I work on my wife's most important projects she has assigned to me for relinquishing her garage. Building a miniature house and renovating a partially completed one. I like the PA ones with holes for in front of my Sherlines.
