• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Unimat Lathe with Numerous Bits, fittings, Adapters, small tools, $1700, L'Ange_Gardien, QC

    It's hard for me to digest the amount of crappy machinery of late that people put up for sale expecting to get top dollar out of it. Not much effort went into throwing this piece of garbage out in the sun to take the picture speaking volumes about the seller. Most definitely NOT the way I...

    WTB 10 or 11” swing metal lathe max 36” between centres

    @ Markit That fellow who sold a Kerry lathe in Saskatchewan was me. Was a solid built English lathe well taken care of complete with all the toys a man would need or ask for. It sold for less than what is suggest above more like 3-grand. New owner is happier that a pig in stink. Check it...

    Tool post identification

    @fixerup Hey Super User appears to be an old, outdated lantern style tool post hardly worth replacing missing parts. I would run with your plan "B" if it were me. (just saying)

    Made in Canada Grohmann Knives. Is a knife a tool?

    "touton" bread, never heard of it although I've enjoyed that Newfie dish they call fish and brewis (Purity Hard Bread or Biscuit).

    Made in Canada Grohmann Knives. Is a knife a tool?

    @CWret I purchased two GROHMANN knives when they first came out back when I was stationed in New Brunswick (air force). Still have them they are a fabulous and comfortable piece of kit to handle. Not to hiss on your parade to the best of my knowledge CA. or CDN is the correct abbreviation...

    FYI - Dusty update

    Time for me to say hello and update my forum friends and others who don't know me. Firstly I haven't been active in my shop for some time far too busy with health issues, although I tried to keep in touch with forum topics usually without signing in. That said, the latter part of 2024 was a...
