Picked up a great proto bottom box today, pretty excitied to have a good roller for the shop!

I know its an old thread but why not keep pics in a single googleable thread. Just got this box, surprisingly close to op up in Flagstaff. Time to learn about vintage proto!

OP. Did you ever get one? Thoughts? Didn't have time to read everything but it sure seems to be one of those products everyone who doesn't own hates them but I'm yet to read a negative review from an owner. I get it, I wouldn't drop 70 bucks on a screw driver myself, maybe a set of quality...

Well for those of you who are curious, I have had time to look over my set up and it looks like I am just gunna have to **** it up and pull the pegboard off. I will probly run a second 2 gang j box to the side of my bench I use most of the time. If I am feeling ritzy when I get the time I will...

A lot of the strips for server rooms and the sort are wired with multiple circuits to allow high draw from many outlets.

The wire mold sterips look good and may work if I can find one that will hardwire and and connect at the center if the strip. I am not at the house to check but I am 90% sure my drawers on the front of the bench go all the way to the back of the bench so front mounting is a no go but I could...

I might stretch my cabe reel over to the work bench and hang it off a hook or a truss for a bit to test it out

Those are what I run in the house. These days it's getting to be necessary to get usbc gen whatever the latest is for a lot of equipment.

I just added a 40 foot retractable to the ceiling in the center of the shop. Haven't considered drop downs over the bench, my first thought is it will look cluttered but it may be handy enough to justify it. It's a shame no one makes an affordable 6 foot retractable. Two of three of those...

I agree, and this is the way I would do it if I was setting the shop up myself. However I bought the house with the pegboard already installed and don't want to pull enough of it out to install multiple boxes. It's mighty old and I don't want it to come apart in the process. I considered...

Unfortunately the way my bench is constructed I have no access to the back, it's fixed to the wall. The front has drawers that I believe run all the way up to the table top at the front.

P.s. spreading the plugs across the bench isn't a big deal to me. Keeping all of my powered work in the middle hasn't been a bother so far, I just don't want to have to constantly switch what is plugged in at the moment.

I'm away from the house with little to do so I have started contemplating my next shop upgrades. The situation is that I have about a 15, maybe 20 foot fixed work bench with only a single 120 volt outlet at the center. I often have need for more than a few plugs at a time. My current light...

Nope, I just happened over an atlas 12 with the same countershaft. Thanks for the help.

I have looked at a few pics, from what I all of the atlas and craftsman lathes I have found have two supports mounted at either end of the axle. This one has single brace in the center of the axle. The guy I got this from has two larger atlas lathes both I believe are complete. I will check...
