Check out https://www.worldofward.com He supplies stepper to dividing head retrofits, was going to try one but found a 4 axis mill instead.

Also know of another one with the S head and Dividing head option. You can sort of see it off to the side in my crappy picture. It won't be on the market any time soon unfortunate.

Friend of mine has a Tom Senior milling machine that he would like to sell. In good shape just a little grungy from lack of use. Original came from Univ. of Calgary so he was told. Horizontal overarm support is inside machine cabinet but no shafts for cutters. Located in Ladysmith, Vancouver...

I am on Vancouver Island. Not looking for any lathes, just posting for others who may be looking.

Auction is today. If your not signed up you are out of luck. Looking at a couple of lots but nothing big. Lathes have seen their better days come and go.

Be careful on what your blasting. If its a casting or a heavy aluminium part it should be OK using low pressure but don't try it on any sheet aluminium, it will stretch the surface and warp your parts. Glass beading will add a surface structure that will need prepping before applying alodine...

Anybody on the lower Vancouver island that can sharpen a couple of form cutters? Ordered a couple of Chinese module cutters from fleebay and not happy with the grind that they provided. Let me know before I send then the The Edge/ Victoria.

Merry Christmas to all. May have to cut the grass today.

Any offset tapers I have done always used a bell or radius center drill for between centers.

Parting out a small grinder and like to have this forwarded to someone who would use it. Currently set for 5000 counts per rev. You'll have to supply your own controller as this one ran from a old school spin the wheel type. Hate to see it go to the bin. You can pick up anytime, please PM me.

I'd be up to it. located in Cobble Hill

I have a couple you can borrow. Not to far away for you to pick up.
