• 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.
  • 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.

    Hey Rauce. Motor (s) are multi-tap on the circuit diagram, so 220/3 supply may be possible at a proportional increase in amp draw. Most Shaublin, esp. these mills, seem to be sold with a lot of tooling This one has nicely organized storage.

    1968 Schaublin 53 at Powermaster Machinery, Mississauga ON

    You're right there trevj. TOT ran a routine episode on his 13. I found a 53, not 52.So glad I use Tax software not my fingers. Yes a hulk, 4400 pounds worth, but so was his 13. Still a very capable machine. Power is an oddball 385v. Buyer note, some rewiring required.

    I have Record #5 with swivel base. It's on a base that I clamp to my workbench as needed. Swivel was a great feature when it was permanently mounted.

    1968 Schaublin 53 at Powermaster Machinery, Mississauga ON

    Found this ex-university machine yesterday and enquired. Darrell of Powermaster responded to me with a price of $9,950 and pictures of a pristine machine.
