    Deburring tool - Whitby, On $5

    Agreed. I've had more hassles trying to give things away than with any other transaction.

    Beaver wood bandsaw - $250 - Toronto, On

    Peter’s been gone for a few years now. Worked a half day Thursday, flew out to Sun Peaks Friday, and was dead from a skiing accident by Sunday, at 81.

    Beaver wood bandsaw - $250 - Toronto, On

    The 14” Rockwell we have at work has probably eaten about a ton of aluminum and brass since a coworker (RIP) bought it in the 60’s. I get it, most folks are cutting steel, but…

    Announcing the 2025 Ontario Meetup April 26 in Aylmer

    I’ve got a Craftex 8” x 12” wood lathe I got for free that’s coming along, priced the same. I don’t think it’s ever been out of the box. :)

    What Are These?

    I have that Starrett set at work, I like it for tramming the mill head.

    Yes. I use my tap wrenches almost daily, five days a week. No fiddling with them as they loosen up goes a long way.

    I was lucky, and picked up the 93 A, B and C, along with the 174, from an ex-Stellco machinist in Hamilton. He said they had a tool allowance, and as far as he was concerned they didn’t owe home anything. I don’t remember what I paid, but it was very much ‘Start the car!’ territory. After a...

    rotary table (15"!), $200, Brantford, ON

    Hmm. I’m going down to Brantford Sunday, for an exhibition opening (Micah Adams, who does some awesome small scale laser welded sculptures), I wonder if they’d hold it till then. I don’t need it, to be clear (the 10” I have at work is fine), but if someone wants me to hold it for them until...
