It was a legit listing, I spoke with the seller. He seemed like a stand up guy. He told me people had offered more than asking but refused because he wanted to offer it to the first person to respond. I was second inline if the first person passed. It was removed from a shop in St Catharines and...

When looking at new 10" bench top lathes you really only have Craftex and King, unless you are willing to ship in a Grizzly, PM or some other Chinese made machine. Sure you can still buy a new Emco, Schaublin or Weiler but it does not sound like that is what you are after. Between the two brands...

I have to disagree, the conversion is not that difficult or expensive (depending on what is expensive to you). If I understand correctly, the leadscrew and gearbox are imperial but the compound and cross slide are metric. First I would measure the thread on the two screws to make sure they are...

In one of his previous videos Josh Topper said the owner had undergone chemotherapy for some sort of cancer. Before that the shop was useful and under control, after the chemo is when the "hoarding" began. He eluded to some altering of his brain chemistry, who knows, maybe he saw the end coming...

Aircraft Spruce has a store in Brantford near the airport, if you are close. I have purchased 6061 round bar from them many times. The pricing on popular sizes is good and you can buy by the foot.

A few weeks ago I posted a WTB ad for an Emco Super 11. Today I received a message from a relatively new member named robert_robert with a lead on a lathe. A name and e-mail address was provided. A little back ground, I have been looking for one of these lathes for quite some time and have...

My guess is, the kids may have exaggerated/lied when telling dad about your confrontation. The "look of fear" comes from the knowledge that they may be outed and dads anger being turned on them.

I have been in contact with that seller. Price plus shipping is doable, however, I have concerns about the condition of the lathe. The photos he sent showed some discolouration on the ways, not sure if it is just the photo or something to be concerned about. I am not comfortable spending that...

I have been in the market for an Emco maximat super 11 (imperial) for some time. I know this is a long shot, but, if anyone has or knows of one for sale please PM me. I live in southern Ontario and am willing to drive a reasonable distance. Lathe should be in good working and cosmetic condition...
