Thanks Jon and Brian.
There's really only one place I can put it at the minute and will probably be Christmas before I can sort it so won't be making a bench just now.
I have a run of oak cupboards / drawers along 2 of the workshop walls with chipboard / hardboard worktop. Stands about 900mm high and 550mm deep so the intention is to create a sort of open cubicle if that makes sense to contain most of the shavings and so I can light and extract easily. I did have my last lathe in a similar position and it wasn't too bad. also i thought if I bolt it down with some type of quick(ish) release method I could move it to the workbench and maybe sit at it if I wanted to. - dunno yet
As an aside, have you come across the nova G3 chuck kit? http://www.recordpower-thetoolshop.com/ ... __x_8.html - Record power have it on sale at £110.
