    Atlas bench mill

    Are you going to track down the missing part and get it back to original? What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? Did it come with anything else? Tooling etc? I have one that I purchased a while back. I had to step up to the plate financially to buy it. But mine came with the...

    Mini 7" Horizontal Shaper Advice Needed

    Funny, I have two inexpensive cast iron drill press vices that I bought from Princess Auto that have never been really flat. They are pretty rough but I could bring myself to scrap them. I keep meaning to use shaper to flatten the important surfaces. It might be a good winter project. If I mess...

    Kuhlmann GM1-2 Pantagragh

    I just brought home a Kuhlmann GM1-2 Pantagragh. I haven’t had a chance to take it off the trailer yet. It didn’t come with a manual. Does anyone here have the same pantagragh mill or have a manual. I bought it to do 2D duplicating and engraving. The previous owner is a great guy but he didn’t...

    Mini 7" Horizontal Shaper Advice Needed

    New to me Atlas 618 Lathe

    Small batch heat treaters or HT Stock

    Is there anyone in the GTA that does small batch heat treating. Something made in 4140 or 17-4. I understand 17-4 is easy to air harden but I don’t have a electric kiln. I understand an option is to get 4140 HT. Not sure if 17-4 comes HT. I have annealed stock on hand so I don’t want to go...

    Building a gantry crane

    If you have the room they are ideal for moving heavy things from a utility trailer. If it was a portable unit that I can be taken apart and stored, it would come in handy. Wish I had a gantry when I moved my Brother in Laws fireproof file safe. The pictures below is the homemade gantry that was...
