    Hardinge Lathe Red Deer 7500

    Personally know very little about the brand. Looks to be in stellar condition. Price seems unreasonable tho...

    Wilton Vise

    Stumbled upon this on Kijiji for 50 dollars. It’s no bullet vise but I still think it’s well worth what I paid. Minor damage (apprentice marks) , and missing one of the lower pipe jaws. Should be a nice little restoration project.

    Garage heater install

    Looking to outfit my garage with a natural gas heater for the coming winter months. Gas line tie in is in the basement just below the garage (so not far of a run). Can anyone recommend a good installer in the Calgary/Airdrie area?

    Force Lathe Barrhead AB $900

    When tested under power at the sellers house, forward and neutral worked fine. But when engaged in reverse a humming noise came from the motor. He said it would eventually trip out the breaker. So I’m assuming to get at the lower threading gear box I’ll have to remove the entire head stock gear...

    Force Lathe Barrhead AB $900

    Yeah stand came with it, going to take that to the car wash tomorrow to clean it. Came with a steady rest, follow rest, back plate, and a 8” 4 jaw chuck. Yeah pictures don’t do justice to it’s size. Next to impossible to find any manuals on this machine.

    Just landed at home with it Craig, never had an opportunity to snap any move pictures as it was an interesting pick up let’s just say... However after an 8 hr round trip it’s safe on my floor. Only two things wrong with it. 1- Lead screw has parted from its gear. (this should be interesting to...

    Has anyone owned or operated a Force GL - 300 C x 914 lathe? My offer was accepted for one outside of Edmonton. Deposit is being put down now, and just wanted some insight on this import machine.

    Colchester Edmonton 12000

    Yeah that’s what I was going to offer, 6000. I don’t even want to give such an offer though as I’m sure the seller would take it as an insult. As much as I want a colchester, I’ll just keep sitting patiently.
