Hello,
I have a fully restored Powermatic PM90 lathe , that I hope to start using.
I/m a beginner and have only turned a few times.
I'm laying out my shop and I'm not sure how much space to leave between the back of the lathe and the wall.

The shop space is narrow so I planned on keeping the lathe parallel to the wall . But I'm open to suggestions.
I don't plan on attempting any out board turning, but would like to attempt bowls as large as the lathe will handle.

Thanks
Scott
