• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

    Locked Cabinets At Canadian Tire

    Our local CT is the same, most tools are locked and staff is difficult to find. If I need anything, I find it easier to order online for pickup. Don't have to deal with staff, just pull up, pick up then go home.

    Deckel FP1, $750, Hamilton, ON

    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...

    Best 10" lathe?

    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...

    Tool South Bend 9A screws?

    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...

    Up coming auction.

    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...

    CA-ALL Wanted-Source for 2024-T3 Bar stock

    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.

    Small repair....

    If you need it right away, the flats could easily be put on that 9" rod with a hand file or belt sander.

    Scammers

    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...
