OK, Thanks, I'll crawl through those and maybe order one.

Thanks, I'll try them. I looked at Ali express because I've bought there before but no coolant pumps.

Need a coolant pump for my mill. 230 V There was one there in the sump, used to work - vibrated / fell off the bracket that held it in place, laid on its side in the coolant for a couple years. Can't get it to work anymore. Anyone with an extra they'd sell (Calgary area preferably)?

CSA cert. / sticker shouldn't be too big of a problem. Years ago, lived in BC, was in wood related industry. I bought some Maffel (German)(230V) wood working saws.

I built one of those 10+ years ago, plans came from a book, spring is a good idea. Suggestion: Hex nut on top. On mine, it takes quite a bit of pressure on that screw, I can't imagine a brass thumb screw being able to get enough pressure (or for that matter, surviving the pressure). I'm using a...

I'm liking Fuchs oils these days. I buy Way oil and Gun Drill oil from them, though 20L pails is smallest quantity they sell. Distributor / dealer in Edmonton, Burnaby iirc. Must admit I used chainsaw bar oil as a way oil for several years and don't really see any difference other than dye color.
