and ideally a separate grinding area.
I managed to do this with my last shop addition. Best thing ever. Grinding machines really need there own room keeping all that mess
away from the well oiled machines.
My shop is 2 additions on a 2 car garage. The garage and the newest edition are 8' ceilings and the other is 11'.
The 10,000 lbs cnc lathe, bridgeport , lathes, SG's, and jig grinder all get along just fine in 8' ceilings.
The 11' is for the someday VMC, most are tall nowadays. That's the dreaming part, for now it's getting an overhead hoist (another reason for the height).
Surface grinder.....definitely....maybe even 2.
