• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    King Canada 7"x12" mini lathe, $1200, Red Deer, AB

    For those who maybe where wondering, I got the pair, they look and felt in great condition and they were delivered to house which was well worth paying more than a 'steal of a deal' can't wait to learn to use them! Thanks again for all the help!

    "Metalworker" 7x12 mini lathe

    Agreed and really good point :) and nice about the Ferrari, that is a once in a life time thing if that for anyone, good point that at $2600/year it's very worth it.

    "Metalworker" 7x12 mini lathe

    Ah good to know, the red deer units might be back on the menu as some things changed regarding his availability, I'll keep people posted, the fellow say that he has barely any use on them, I know it's not the best price but I like the mentality of treating any "loss" on resale like a rental

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/calgary/7x12-variable-speed-mini-metal-lathe-1-2-hp-many-accessories/1699053767 Never heard of this brand but looks like the other 7x12s Thoughts? The saga continues

    Craftex 7x8 $400 Sorrento

    It comes with nothing other than what's shown in the image and he is firm at $400 still worth it? Think that if I want to upgrade in the future I could get most of the $ back out? I am on the fence due to the smaller size

    Craftex 7x8 $400 Sorrento

    Hmm to be honest I didn't catch that either, part of me is wondering if maybe it's still worth it, not maybe for $400, just to get a feel for it sooner than waiting for the next reasonably priced machine, but hard to say

    Just to update folks, working out the finer details of the logistics it looks like it at least won't work for the next 3 weeks so I'll see then. Thanks again for all the help! At least I now know a little more than at the start :)
