I have a number of sheets of copper that measure .050 ish and 12x15". Perhaps a little too thin for you? Unfortunately, if they are of use, I am in Alberta.

Reliance DC motor. Permanent magnet field, 3/4" shaft. Made as face mount, but I used it with a wooden cradle (not available) and it worked well. Great low end torque. Used it with a vintage Rivett lathe I sold some years ago. Weighs about 50 lbs. Just two wires to connect to the power supply...

Sold at the asking price.

Unfortunately, friend has no current plans to visit Taber. Will consider my options.

I have a friend with family in taber that he occasionally visits. Let me check and see if he has any plans for a trip.

I have a pail, and willing to share. I am in Sherwood Park, by Edmonton.

I have a parting tool holder, but it may be too big for your machine the shank is .97 tall and .38 thick. You can have it for whatever Canada Post would charge for me to mail it.

Enjoyed similar ensemble. I usually played soprano or alto, and occasionally base. I have several recorders of all sizes I am trying to flog to the local recorder society with little success.

Sorry, no microtome blades.

Did I mention that the microscope has cross hairs with a measuring scale in the view, and the traveling stage has .01mm scale? This is about the size of a Sherline or Taig. the bed is 18" end to end.

Yup, I understand your sentiment. I bought it for love and ended up using it well to make parts for gas chromatography valves. Paid for itself, so I can afford to be flexible on price if I can find a buyer. Pretty specialized tool though.

I should mention that, besides the usual metric collets, a small number are fractional inches and number drill sizes. Pot chucks are machinable to size of course.

Hi David...good suggestion. I am in Sherwood Park, a bedroom community to Edmonton, Alberta.

Any who have seen my recent offers probably recognize that I am trying to save my children the chore of disposing of my stuff. On offer today is a very well equipped Derbyshire 10mm instrument makers lathe with all the chucks and collets that make for a useful tool. I expect I could get more on...

The real credit belongs to the microtome. I just modified it to do the job I needed. The recorder headjoint shown is one of mine though. Made of one of the delbergia species. (Rosewoods)
