I would like to grab a liter or quart, I could pick it up at the meet-up as well.

I'm in Haldimand County. They word has yet to get out that I have the machines I do, otherwise I feel I'd have a few more visitors!

Never seen it on any of our stuff! We are HP limited by field size around here. Biggest clear field we've got is only 42 Acres, and we farm a bunch as small as 1.2. Biggest we've got is 112HP at the moment, with slightly undersized implements to match... We seem to do it the very hard way! lol...

Thanks for getting back to me. I can and will make use of the backing plate, I just wanted to find a few more. I've got a few chucks/collet holders I want to use with it. I can cut 4.5 TPI on my lathe, I've just never heard of such a beast. Maybe I missed it in the hand book. All the...

@trlvn I've got a question about this head for you. Do you recall what the spindle threads are? Because, and I really hope I'm wrong, they measure out at 55 degrees... making them....whitworth [style] threads!?!?!?! They also measure at 2.280" / 57.912mm, so that's different. Who built these things?

It might be overly complicated, but a NEMA 34 stepper can really pound out the torque at low RPM. OR something like this...

I’ll be honest here. I was hoping to make this a little more photo journalistic, but as is tradition I got caught up in the job and just kept going. At some point in my disassembly, I pounded out a pin. That pin happened to be tapered and I tapped the wrong end. This resulted in the two tabs...

Many moons ago, before I had a lathe, before I had my own shop... I had a shaper. A Swedish Shaper Shaped Object to be exact (SSSO). This lived a rugged life in the great outdoors under cover. It got a lot of use, but seeing as I had lost my old shop thanks to some greedy landlords and the new...

I've had a few Standard Modern lathes in my life. On my third, and I love it (13" 2000 series). I did what I though was a full restoration, but WOW!!! This is IMPRESSIVE. You should be very proud of what you're accomplishing here. You'll have the newest and nicest Utilathe in Canada.... maybe...

Hi there, I bought this a few months back, thinking it would work out for me. Alas it has not. Very heavy ~200-250 lbs. 11" table. Asking 700, trades are welcome.

Has been spoken for.

Unknown make, maybe homemade? If someone wants it they can have it for the shipping. PM me.

Endura is the gold standard for aircraft paint, and just about every other industry. I've used tons of it. It holds up well, and you are correct, no need to clear. Their paints also hold metallic well. Their paints have a good amount of plasticizers in them that allow them to stay quite...

Well in that case... here is a short essay on painting with epoxy. Its sucks; first and foremost. lol The epoxy primer that you use, should be an automotive or an aviation primer. I've used a lot of Sherwin Williams Macro-Poxy, that is amazing stuff (and had silica anti-wear agents in...
