Hey BABM, I hadn't been here in a while and hadn't seen your post, but thanks for PMing me to get me back here. I just replied to your PM about my experience with my VS20........

Those are interesting and would work great......but it would be a bit overkill for my purposes. Thanks for bringing these to my attention though as they may be useful somewhere down the road. Another one of those simple solutions that I love!!! Thanks. Will have to see how many pucks I've got...

Thanks!!!! I LOVE simple solutions!!!! Didn't even cross my mind!!!! :D

They are Carvel Creative and they do have a website: www.carvelcreative.com The guys and gal that I met there were really nice and helpful. They mentioned that they just cleaned out a Sea Can and actually have a bunch of stuff for sale listed on Kijiji. A 10X22 King lathe, Segmor steel roller...

That was sooooo cool!!!! Wish I could have made it up there!!! Thanks for posting this!!

So I just brought home this small milling machine that is mounted on a cabinet. As is visible in the photo, it is mounted to some C-channel to facilitate lifting with a forklift as well as raise the mill to a bit more comfortable milling height. The issue is that my shop's floor, while cement...

Life has been crazy here and I finally was able to get some time on Tuesday to scream up to Calgary and pick up this King mill. They were very pleasant and agreeable in letting it sit along a wall in their shop.......a 3 bay 2 storey building full of some wonderful pieces of equipment that would...

It looks more like the 2nd one, but does not have the dividing plates and tailstock with it. But it is still a bit different. It's locking levers are situated differently. There are 3. One vertical between the collar and the table. Looks to lock the the actual shaft. And then 2 horizontal on the...

Thanks Tom.......that is what had crossed my mind.....the re-aligning of everything every time a switch was needed. Curious as what you think of this rotary table right now on Kijiji: 6" Rotary Table Red Deer? He told me that he bought it new at BB and never did use it. Didn't say why. Said...

Hey there YYC......did you get your DRO mounted and useable yet? I am curious as to what you think of the actual product. As I have just acquired a milling machine I have a project in mind that uses drilling holes in a circle pattern and I'm debating either a rotary table or a DRO to do this...

Thanks......there's really nothing too difficult in either of those 2 models........ it's just learning how to do it. I really like this youtube channel of Lars Chistensen . He has a tonne of Fusion 360 and he makes sure that he explains all that he is doing and the why of it. Also encourages...

I really really like Fusion 360, especially as I get more acquainted with what it's able to do. And one o the things I like most about becoming more acquainted is the plethora of Youtube videos available to show how to do anything I've wanted to learn to do. I have started drawing up the things...

PS. I think it was listed for a total of 27 hrs. I was lucky enough to have sent my message within 30 minutes of it being listed.

Got it for $1200. They sent me a message and told me because I was the 1st to inquire that they were giving me till noon of that day to say “Yay” or “Nay” before they would offer it to several other “very interested” parties. Even though they sent the message at 9:30am, I didn’t see the message...

Good catch on that Tom. Didn't clue in on that.
