• 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.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    MODERN Lathe Victoria

    Yup, I was on that auction and threw my bid in as well. I had a feeling it would go up to 5k which is still not bad when you look at comparables on the market. Wasn’t willing to go that high on a Chinese lathe though. British/US or Taiwan for sure.

    Myford ML7 lathe in Moose Jaw

    Don’t think so. I’ve been monitoring machinery prices, including Myfords, very closely for the past 3 years. Yours is undervalued! As a matter of fact, I saw one in person just yesterday (he wouldn’t sell). I picked up his nice Atlas 7B instead.

    10" Royal Metal Shaper

    I was the 3rd person on the guys the list within 30 minutes of the posting. Some lucky trigger boy got that one. Would have been a great project.

    How much would you pay for a Myford?

    That Myford on the Island for 15k did sell, diont know how much though. There was another one in the Vancouver area last year that went for 10k plus. Took a couple months. There’s another one now for sale in Langley at Bell for 15K in brand new condition. Just like real estate, get used to it.

    $1000 Boxford Mission BC

    I saw this one when it was listed. Fantastic price for this lathe. He could have easily got more than twice that.

    Colchester Shopmaster 2500 $4000

    Just an FYI, an older flat head Colchester, 60s vintage MK2, in similar condition sold at Lenmark recently for $10,500! Unfortunately this one does look like a deal as a fixer upper. Can't believe the prices of used lathes these days.

    13 x 40 Colchester

    Lol guys. I just came across this post. I'm the new owner. Currently restoring her. It will be many months of work, well under way though.
