Its decanted into trays that go in the tool chests. So when you need to sling one in the boot, its a PITA.

Besides, as arronjb implies, you can never have enough shiny tools ;D

Saves multiple setups when doing batches of parts, or changing chucks.

Well.. it would if I would pull my finger out and get them both working again - they both really need a rebuild and in reality I ended up with two because one has the screw-cutting gearbox and the other has the drive-spindle clutch.. converting the former to three phase with soft-start and speed control would really do away with the need for the clutch, though.

IIRC one is 1970s and one is 1950s with the older model being in better condition.. they really both need at least new bearings and one might even need a new leadscrew as it has quite a lot of backlash.
