Hey everyone, just curious if anyone could enlighten me on who Chambly Machine Works is/was. I had never heard of them until I got this 4x60 belt sander last year at an auction. Used it once to flatten a Dodge 5.7 exhaust manifold but the belt that came with it was tired and just barely finished...

Hey Everyone, I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but many of us do. As well, it is understood that there are a few different calendar systems on the go but the Gregorian is the most commonly used for at least civil and governmental purposes, and it is ticking up one increment soon. So...

Well, a buddy of mine showed me pictures of a Baldor pedestal grinder at an auction a week ago, and I threw a bid in on it. Should have known better as the label wasn't easy to read on the picture, but figured if it was 3 phase would probably be 220V, no biggie. Well, it's 3 phase but 575V. It...

Have to say a big thanks to @John Conroy for selling me his 6" riser block, and for wanting to come hang out and install it. Slightly different shade of gray but no biggie at all to me, I'm all about function over form. Went pretty painlessly and it was just great to have adult conversation...

Hey everyone, I got a bunch of fluorescent tubes a while back at an auction, many of them brand new. As I'm setting up my shop the fixtures are getting new bulbs where needed. Turns out these four have an end style that I can't use. So, anyone in the greater Edmonton area (or passing through)...

Hey everyone, after some suggestions I was curious about FreeCAD and if it was any easier to use than the last time I tried it a few years ago. So, I got the latest version and installed it. Still not quite getting the hang of parts of it but I think I'm just too used to Fusion and Alibre Atom...

Out of curiosity, who do you all watch on YouTube as far as Canadian YouTubers? No, I'm not looking for any special treatment here, especially as I haven't put anything out in over 2 months, and the fact that I'm just an auto mechanic who dabbles in this whole metal cutting addiction. I would...

If I had a shop that wasn't an unfinished disaster and a bit of hobby money to spend this would be following me home. It's exactly the size of machine I would like at some point. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industrial/calgary/okuma-ls-lathe/1573551261 Looks like it could use a...

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industrial/calgary/lathe-machine-name-modern/1562541942 Given what machines around here go for, if it isn't trashed might be a good deal for someone near Cowtown. As of this moment only up for 11 minutes, might be worth looking at.

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-business-industrial/edmonton/manual-milling-machine/1539530400 Seems like after a long time of very few machines coming available, lately there have been some reasonable prices on mills. I know a guy with an XLO, they were Canadian made and good machines. The ad...
