Make sure you have your templates include space for opening panel doors, draw bar removal, etc. Also consider access for a cherry picker to move heavy obects like chucks, motors, any machine accessories that need changing, however infrequent. I've moved both my lathe and mill because I didn't take my own advice.
Great points. This is a main reason I am organizing the shop prior to moving in. I have experienced the cramped space in the small shop and now looking to maximize the space available with the larger shop.
I have also taken into consideration the size of work that I have done in the past, parts stick out past the end of the table or back of the lathe and I have needed the cherry picker to load and unload.
