  • 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!

    Who Sold or Imported Zay machines?

    Zay 7045FG mill looks like a RF45 type clone. The grizzly G0755 manual has a great wiring diagram that may help. https://cdn0.grizzly.com/manuals/g0755_m.pdf But looking at the data plate for your motor will really help.

    Used Lathe Prices

    It’s not only used equipment, I was eyeballing a 12x36 lathe from king/bb for a few years. 2019 they were selling for $3500, a few week ago I was in BB and the same lathe is now $6300.

    Power hacksaw

    I bought a Kwik-Kut at auction 2 months ago, came with a super cheap quality tile saw and a unrepairable generator for $26. But your seems much better build quality. Mine needs a rebuild. I think $100 is a good deal.

    Tool What’s it for?

    Excellent, thank you! I would agree. Not sure I’ll be doing that, but might be handy to keep around.

    Tool What’s it for?

    Bought a “new” drill press at auction, came with tons of drills, spade bits, forstner bits and bunch of other accessories. The only thing I don’t what what it is is this. The previous owner was a wood worker. Just want to know what it is so I can trade, turf, transform or us as it is.

    An introduction

    Hello New guy from Edmonton, been lurking around for quite some time. I’ve had a lathe for nearly two years, have been learning and gaining significant experience. Recently invested in a mill and now looking for more knowledge. Looking forward to making more interesting and complex things!
