Screen and keyboard mounting ideas ??? was created by mooser
I currently have my screen and keyboard on a semi-articulated arm that is bolted to the wall near the tailstock end of the lathe (SM series 2000)
That location tends to work better for me than when I had it up on the headstock end.
I need to move the wall mount and I'm thinking I'd like to see what others have for their setup incase something jumps out at me rather than what I have now
So post up whatever/however you have your monitor/keypad/mpg for your lathes

How are you planning on mounting?
I'm just using a normal screen/keyboard (nowhere near as nice a setup as you've got going there) but need to find a different arm or something to hold it since I needed to remove my old setup (fairly barbaric)

I will just have 4 holes on the back and use a VESA mount. Another option might be to hang it from above. There are commercially available HMI mounting systems that do this and let it swivel
I have thought about having a seperate keyboard tray that mounts to the bottom and use a combo keyboard and trackball. It would just bolt on.

If I sat my butt on that I'd probably come up with better g-code than I normally do...

VESA arm mount bolted to a panel on the back of the headstock.
MPGs mounted on the saddle.
(Ignore the keyboard, that lives in the house and is brought into the workshop only as needed)
