I'm planning on building a 4896 here in the next month or so, and after looking at the dimensions of the machine, I'm trying to get my shop set up to accommodate the unit. I think what would work best for me is to have one corner of the unit in the corner of my room. It would be ideal to leave about 1' of clearance on both of the sides along the wall. Is this possible / recommended?

I've looked at some build logs where they appear to have the A side pushed close to a wall, so I'm hoping at least that part is okay. I can deal pretty well with a single side being along a wall, but two would be ideal.

If this won't work, can someone give me some real-world recommended clearances around the machine? Is there something I should really be looking to avoid when I'm arranging my shop? I have to move some other fairly large equipment around, so I would like to put some thought into this and only do it once.

Thanks fellas!
