    Sharp 12x37 Lathe $500 Langley

    wow, that's an amazing price! "Mostly used for polishing" makes me concerned for the ways though.

    REX-CUT DG1237 $1,900 Richmond BC

    Even filthy and with a worn cross-slide nut, that's a steal - congrats, and I hope you get many great projects from it (beyond the cleaning, lol)!

    REX-CUT DG1237 $1,900 Richmond BC

    I wonder if that's metric too - the manual has specs for both imperial and metric versions of the 1237G (also interesting that it's a non-gearhead G model!).

    Atlas horizontal milling machine - $2,700 (Delta)

    wow, that thing is cute! It looks to be a really great size for a small space actually... if only I had the money burning a hole in my pocket right now, I'd be very tempted.

    Nine 0-1" Micrometers $150.00

    I like that the dirtiest one of the lot is also the only one marked as "keep clean"!

    Metal Lathe - $1,900 (Surrey)

    I think that'll be a 12x37 - it's identical to the Frejoth FI-900AG (also sold under Dar Sin as the DSL-1237GH) I picked up for the Vancouver Hack Space last year. Of course, it's hard to tell the scale in the photos, and they do commonly scale these designs up. Let me know if anyone here picks...

    Maximat V10 Lathe ?$ Surrey BC

    I had to tell myself No More Lathes on this one. It's so conveniently sized for my home office!

    13x40 Polish TUE-40 Lathe $1000 Abbotsford BC

    Take a look at the closest way in the last photo, that looks more like 5mm!

    Pair Of Double Machine Vises $300 Surrey BC

    aw, no longer available! I'd have been in my car faster than ever before.

    Monarch lathe in Abbotsford, BC - $1100

    I'm not sure on the model but I think it's a 12x36 or thereabouts, as I expect the photo of the tapemeasure that shows ~48" is measuring from the end of the bed. It's hard to tell the condition from the terrible photos, but it looks like it might be missing some parts for the headstock. The...

    Teeny metric hex drivers

    I can't say anything about those specific drivers, but I'll attest to the quality of good RC gear - I've had the same set of Hudy hex drivers (one of the original brands, that all of those knurled hex drivers you see are knock-offs of) for over 20 years now. In that time I've only replaced the...

    BB B244 Abbotsford $850

    lol, exactly. It looks too big to actually be for this lathe, and doesn't appear to share anything in common with other the parts.

    BB B244 Abbotsford $850

    ok, I feel I know my lathes pretty well, but... what on earth is this attachment?!

    BusyBee 13-36 Vancouver

    Same. When I run lathe classes I'm all smiles and "this is so awesome!" until I start talking about the chuck key in the chuck. "If I see you ever, ever take your hand off the chuck key while it's in the chuck, even for a split second, I WILL YELL AT YOU. If you see that happen, you WILL correct...
