    Full Hobby Machine Shop. Selling only as package deal. $10,000 - Whitby ON

    That’s my thoughts exactly when there are zero chips or oil on any machine. I try to keep my stuff clean…. But there are still many many tiny chips and a coat of cutting oil that a casual wipe/blowdown doesn’t get. My lathe is almost brand new and I think I’ve emptied the chip pan twice already…..

    HERO TIME - My Dream Lathe has Landed!

    A few things are free in this world. Lathes, unfortunately, are usually not one of them. Especially the nice ones that are almost brand new. You had me for a sec.

    In our defence, you don’t have to try really hard at all to make em smoke, and any sort of tune makes them faster then most vehicles by quite a bit. Please don’t raise my diesel prices

    The QE2 between Calgary and Edmonton has a posted speed limit of 110. I doubt a cop would pull you over for any less than 135.

    I was going what the truck said was 100. DB says it’s closer to 96 though. In Alberta highway speed limit on a double lane is 110. Everyone typically goes about 120. So me at 96 is significantly slower then traffic at 120. I know you easterners like the 90 speed limit.

    Youde rather we would have tipped it over or lost the tailstock for a little excitement? In my eyes an uneventful and speedy lathe delivery is the best kind!

    Lathe was delivered successfully. As well as the tailstock. @JustaDB is still probably ogling it, trying to get his old lady to come have a look. Hopefully he has many years of fun with it yet.
