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.

    Busybee in Calgary had ones that fit. As suggested I brought the tool post along to make sure. Picked up the last 3 they had in stock.

    Source for 250-100 QC tool holders that actually fit the QCTP

    Looking for a few more 250-102 tool holders for my AXA style 250-100 chinesium QCTP that will actually fit the QCTP. I purchased 2 from KMS tools yesterday and they won’t even slide on the QCTP. They look to be decent quality but just won’t slide on at all. The box for the toolholders is...

    Question on King Canada 10x22” lathe stand

    The king Canada stand for the 10x22 is very light weight and the two pillars are indeed connected by a thin bent piece of sheet metal and 4 small 10mm or 3/8 bolts. It is a wobbly unstable platform, so much so that I used L brackets to anchor it to the wall. Had I known this I would have built...

    Question on King Canada 10x22” lathe stand

    I know this is going to sound stupid but I can’t find the answer. Planning to travel 5 hours to pickup a small king Kanada 10x 22” lathe. Comes with the factory stand. Does the stand disassemble? I ask because I only have a trailblazer and if the stand doesn’t come apart I don’t think it...

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

    Thanks all. Been looking for over a year at used. Modern tool has an 11” swing lathe on their website but they don’t carry it anymore.

    Vevor 8.3x29.5 lathe

    A big pass. Saw it today. Very lightly built with a skinny bed, very small diameter lead screw, and flakey electrical switch. Probably good for delrin and aluminum but would not turn steel on it. 1.5” spindle bore with a very thin spindle.
