    Baleigh Mill at auction in Regina

    It was well used and poorly maintained. The pictures were not take at the auction site. When I saw it, it was outside. Some of the chicken crap had washedmoffmin the recent snow and rain, but had been replaced with rust. But only on the very few areas that were not covered in a cm of spooge...

    East bound and down!

    Glad to have you back! You are just a short trip away from me now. Only 2.5 hours. The shop planning is a challenging but rewarding task. My shop is just starting the build today.

    Voest Lathe: Kindersley SK, $1700

    My old home town. Lots of oilfield stuff done there. Lathe looks to be in pretty good condition and that price…..

    Kurt D675 Milling Vise - Fernie BC

    You can get factory blemished vises directly from Kurt. I bought one last year for slightly under $800 shipped after exchange. Of course things are more expensive now but still a good place to start looking.

    If it works, at least your equipment is running. My lathe has sat for nearly a year while I looked for a transformer.

    Plenty O Tools

    The one I bought was the only one that was still hooked up to the phase converter, so I figured that it probably still worked. It was definitely quite new compared to the other transformers. Oh and it was the only one with a legible label on it! Turns out it steps up from 240 to 480 V and is 9...

    Plenty O Tools

    I picked up a transformer for my EMCO lathe so I can finally get it running. Also took a flier on some micrometer. Really hard to tell what all was in the lot, but the price was right. Will know in a few days if it was worth it. I am lucky I have some friends in Gravelbourg that are picking my...

    phase converter question

    I was told that you need to size the RPC to the load.This is especially important for hard starting loads like hydraulic pumps and compressors. For these loads it is recommended that the RPC be sized to 2x the load. Therefore for a 3 hp compressor you could get away with a 5 hp RPC. Does your...

    Import 16x60ish lathe, $3000, Maple Ridge BC

    The ”excellent for roughing but not so good for tight tolerances” statement is a bit of a red flag. But it is running so you could take a few cuts to check it out. It might just need some adjustment. Or maybe some expensive new bearings. Hard to say.

    Kearney&Trecker 3CE, Weyburn Sask: $600

    Isn’t the 3CE made in England by CVA? That would make replacement parts even harder to come by. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10 ton crane!
