    UPS gripe

    I think I've ordered from Travers Canada once, for work, and yes, some of the items came from within Canada, others came from the States. KBC does the same thing. No apparent distinction in price, the stuff shows up at different times but the ordering process is streamlined.

    Bridgeport mill, $500, Erin, ON

    And a Heidenhain readout! (unknown scales, but still) I see it's already pending, not surprising. For the folks out West, this is pretty expensive for a mill. They're usually $50-$100 :p ... ... Alright, no. In Ontario, $3000 will pretty much guarantee you a mill, any day of the week. $2000...

    Excello mill - Barrie, On - $750

    I suspect the Bridgeport is a better deal, but... having an Ex-cell-o is a long time dream of mine. Happily, I have 600V 3 phase power next door. :)
