• 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.

  • 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!

    South Bend 10K metal lathe w/ most attachment option. $2,200 Burlington

    I've been getting a lot of requests for automotive repair work on the side. I found a low-rise hoist locally and jumped on it as a secondary revenue stream. Not running away at all, still watching the YT machinists (MrPete is great!). Just know I need to put resources where they'll do me...

    South Bend 10K metal lathe w/ most attachment option. $2,200 Burlington

    Hey Guys, this was mine. And I was the newbie last year LOL! The guy that sold it to me gave me a great deal on it last year and the gentleman that came to buy it today was a retired dude on a farm that wanted one a for a long time. He knew the machine better than I did. Yes it was a...

    Edmonton - Can you plane down some oak for me ( 1 cut )

    My brothers and I share woodworking tools like that. We all need a miter saw, not a thickness planer. Worst case it's an hour to get it from the other brother to save $600. Last use was 2 years ago, and after cleaning it down I wrapped it in a garbage bag. It's still in that bag.

    Moving a bridgeport 50m across a paved alley/gravel driveway

    Can you rent or borrow an appropriate forklift? Someone with boom truck that can pick it up? You'll still need to pipe roll it to the door I expect. Even plywood across the gravel will cost you more than a tow truck.

    Cheap Mini Lathe, Mini Mill, Tooling WALMART Canada

    I saw those as well, figured they're old listings or something. But if you've actually received them then cool!

    It's all new to me. Todays adventures in Facing, turning, and parting. I'd love some input?

    Awesome details here. Thank you very much. I did notice there's no relief at all in the HSS tool. I did grind one, although my tooling is very basic at this point. A bandsaw is the next thing on my list. Found a portaband on a desktop stand, and an older freestanding bandsaw but they're...

    It's all new to me. Todays adventures in Facing, turning, and parting. I'd love some input?

    It didn't look 'right', and I know this is a forming job so you want to really support it. I certainly bit off too much lol. I'll look into this. I raised and lowered the tool on my QCTP several times and eventually, after sharpening it on a coarse stone wheel started to get a good roll...

    Grab your coffee or beer and have a seat, and listen to the story of a rookie gettin' his feet wet. I finally had free time to start making actual chips with this old lathe (SB 10K). I'd scratched out a few things with some scraps but it was time to learn how to work it. My QCTP was fitted...
