  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    Which small production grade mill?

    For me I agree with the Tormach 1100 mx option. Partially because I wouldn't be doing fast speed production where I need the power of the Haas but more so because with a 60K dream budget after I pimped out the Tormach I have room in the budget for all the tooling and extra toys to go with the...

    Meuser & Co Metal Lathe - Price, shipping, interested?

    Hi, Unfortunately that is all the information I have, and because my friend also lives here it's not easy to obtain more information. If anyone is interested in buying it obviously more information and discussion will need to be had before a final price is negotiated. I guess I was just...

    Meuser & Co Metal Lathe - Price, shipping, interested?

    on the Lathes.co site it looks to be a 16" like you guessed http://www.lathes.co.uk/meuser/ the 16" was the smallest they made. The centers where between 20 and 80 inch and I am not sure what size this one is. all I have are those three pictures. It's hard for me to see if there is a third leg...

    Meuser & Co Metal Lathe - Price, shipping, interested?

    Hi, I have a few questions about the lathe below. The short version of the story is a friend is doing an estate cleaning and needs to sell the lathe and has no Idea what they are worth (and I don't either).

    Grizzly metal lath great deal... but with a cracked head stock

    hahahaha, yeah that is what I probably should do. but its hard when the price is right :). but I did a check on some of the parts that I know I will need (on grizzly website) and it looks like about 1,000-1,500 in parts. That being said, a similar lathe used and older is still going to be about...

    Grizzly metal lath great deal... but with a cracked head stock

    Hi, I happened on a Grizzly G0776 (or similar) lathe that I could get for virtually free. The big catch is it tipped over in transportation and is quite damaged. the lead screw is bent and a few levers are bokken as well as the cross slide screw. I think there is some damage in the gear box and...

    Hello from Chilliwack BC.

    well shop size is shop size. not the same as house size. I think your retirement shop should be bigger :)

    Hello from Chilliwack BC.

    honestly had to do a quick google search to remember who that is. I like some of the concepts but not a fan of the architecture in general. Also this might be an American thing but 2500 ft² as a 'starter house' labeled as "not big" doesn't really strike me as a small house. I currently live in...
