Of course my garage has a welder plug, but that was unwired and then used to power my air compressor. I would need to have ran back to that plug. Naturally, my breaker box is full because it isn't that big. Then I'd most likely have to have a higher amp feed run into my garage from the power pole. Overall, I've been spending money on other things, AKA dragging my feet.
Unless you operate everything at the same time you can put in a relay box to switch between compressor, welder1, 2, 3, laths, drill press, etc.
I've designed control relay logic for many many small independent businesses, from 1 man machine shops or fabricators to every other kind of small business you can think of.
Even built and installed a phase generator for a farmer's stand off highway 20 and hooked up a refrigerated shipping container to keep his produce fresh. That was a 240v single phase to - 480v three phase inspected project.
Point is, have saved regular working folks tons of money using alternative methods to power up.
Feel free to pm, can make up a schematic and parts list pretty easily with a little information.
ow...if you have to replace any case components...or if the bearing pockets in the case halves are worn, or otherwise beat up...now you really need to use a shim kit and measuring tools to get it right.
100%.
That said, you don't need to buy every special tool either.
Used a scrap ceiling wire from a MC wheel balancer to do all the air checks and tolerances on the c6.

Duct tap and scrap ceiling wire, cheesy HF magnet and rusty 1/8" flat stock, got tolerances to .0001 for forward drum air check, and all the rest.
