Note: I looked as several videos of FlipTop benches.
While these all look like good ideas for shops with limited floor space,
the question that pops into my head is what about vibration. Some of
the equipment that is being put on flip top benches produce little
vibration, but some of the high speed units, seems like it would tear
some of those benches a part after a year or so of use.
The other thing I noticed is that some of them seem like they could get
away from you while you were in the process of flipping it over. The
one with the big lath seemed nearly more than the guy could turn.

good point did not consider that
like the idea of saving space but it has to be done right

have not seen that video
often times people run with an idea past the point of original intent
and end up creating new situations that are not good
flipping a lathe sounds bad
