    Colchester Mascot 1600, oil pump repair

    Hey folks! We just got a new (used) lathe at work. This came about through a friend of mine who manages the machine shop at a heavy equipment manufacturer. It’s been redundant for some time and they needed space for a new CNC. Their usual machine tool dealer they work with offered them scrap...

    New scales with old DRO?

    So I got a DRO with the my First mill. It’s old and from what little there is out there on the internet, likely mid 80’s vintage. The head unit works fine, and the Y scale works. I tried plugging the Y scale into the X port and got a reading so that was my confirmation that the head works as it...

    Excello 602 parts machine - Hamilton, ON

    I’m selling selling my excello since I picked up the “free” first mill and I only have space for one machine. Located in Hamilton, ON It’s functional but the Y and Z ways are very worn. You can see in the second picture just how bad the Y axis ways are. With the shimmed gib snugged up there’s...

    The “free” First LC-1 1/2 VS Mill

    Starting in a new thread in the right subforum. This won’t be nearly as extensive as my Hendey project but there will be some work. Attached are some additional photos @Canadium took yesterday. The green battery powered forklift was a bit sketchy but saved some time and effort. The...

    Deal of a lifetime?

    I think I just got really lucky. Spotted an ad yesterday for a First LC-1 1/2 marked for parts/scrap. Looked at the photo and the mill didn’t look all that old or tired, description said there’s a problem with the head, sounds like a bag of marbles when it runs. Otherwise no issues. Now...

    Maho CNC Mill - Orillia - $3400

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1348234032392358/?mibextid=6ojiHh I saw this in person a few weeks ago when I bought something else from the seller. Extremely clean machine. The seller had a business building CNC Metal Spinning Lathes but is retiring. I’d think the Mach 3 retrofit is...

    Granite Master Square

    I don’t really need one this big (16x24x3). But the price was pretty good. Tru Stone brand, which is now a division of Starrett. Sold originally as grade AA, 25 millionths per 6”. Current condition unknown but it came from a ISO certified tool and die shop so I assume it will have been...
