Putting my house in order

Here is another new idea.  By rearranging things a bit I can manage to grow the size of my support tables, at the expense of the work table size.  

My current CNC is 24"x24" but I have parts to resize the CNC up to roughly 32"x32" with thicker rails that will increase the stiffness as well.  However I can't make my CNC workbench larger without moving it beside the workbench.  However in order to move it over there I have to shrink the size of the workbench down.  This may work out fine, if I have all my tools off the workbench then I will still have more actual space to work with.

Anyway by doing this I now can use all the space on the left side to house all my saws.  I may split this back apart into a miter saw station and a tools table that has my bandsaw, bench grinder and vice.  That would allow me to better position the tools without worrying about worrying about clearance around the miter saw.

I'm also still on the fence about where to put the drill press, or even if I want to add wheels to it at all.  If it is at the end of the chain of benches then it really does not need to move.
