What is the actual spacing needed around the machine to prevent collisions with the peddles and handles with walls, furniture, etc., during operation?

I have not measured. But honestly, not much. The handles do not go far beyond the front of the machine and the pedals stay within the body of the machine as you use it. You could use in a small space as long as you have a decently high ceiling.

22.5" by 43" but add 3" to each to account for the wheels turning to get in and out of a tight space.

Like some of the other posters said, the sliding mechanism is going to move out. I think just shimming the base of the track would be a good idea. Might limit what items you can actually put in the drawer, though, height-wise.

With the casters you'd need 3 1/4 inches of clearance. Without the casters you'd need 1 1/4 inches.

I'm not right person to give specific answer for you but I do know that this can not avoid to touch handle between two 20 inch bikes. It struggle to get in and out but you could make this less problem when you put one and the other different direction .

pole sits about 7 inches away from the wall to allow for pedal. handlebar clearance at 20 inches.

Even with the handle fully lowered you cannot have the handle touching the floor and still have the beater bar touch the carpet/floor. The handle must be held 12-14 inches above the floor to have the beater bar fully down against the floor. This is a design flaw and not user correctable. I do not know of an online link to the manual.

there seems to be springback between the handles. I sure hope I answered this correctly.

12x19 is the area where you can place your pedals. outside dimension is 15.5x21.5.

Due to the manual's space requirements around the machine, you need a space that is 24" wide, 16" tall, and 18" inches deep. There's enough airflow from the machine to dissipate the heat if it has that much room.

The standard shipment pack includes 4 spacers of three different widths. They are very small and difficult to handle, thus sometimes you tend to loose some, so some spare are included.

An inch, more than enough to keep items from falling off of the cart, unless you are having races and then anything can happen.

Sorry, details are not readily available, shop packed for moving. This is a standard machine design, sold under several brand names. It comes with an assortment of drums, from about 1/2" to about 3". For general woodwork, I leave the largest one set up. It covers almost all my needs. The smaller ones should cover almost any specialty work. Good experience with this machine trimming and smoothing curves in furniture.

You will need a radius guide. Hardwood has it's own issues with quarter inch drive, as you would suspect. Not undoable.

The manual states 4 inches between the top and one half inch between sides.

I would assume less than half an inch (very small space between bars). At most, possibly 1/2 an inch.

Yes the pedals stay in place if you use Velcro. Depending upon the size of your pedals will determine spacing
