Creekers, is it unsafe to have a lathe too close to a wall, for potential bounce-back if the workpiece breaks up? I am relocating my midi-lathe in my shop, and my first choice was in a corner up against a concrete wall. The spindle would be about a foot from the wall, so with workpiece thats max 10" diameter, is that too close? I couldn't find a reference book that addresses that. As usual, I didn't think of that potential problem until I already moved it.
Thanks for input.
