• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

Really good price. FWIW, I filled the column of my now sold RCM with a combination of lead and grout and it made a noticeable improvement to noise and rigidity. The original motor pulley on mine was wonky and I replaced it with a PA taper lock pulley.
 
For $500 you almost can't go wrong as long as the moving parts are there, or mostly there.

People pay more then that for a crappy drill press at a box store.

Plus it's apart and looks repainted. Clean up the machined/moving surfaces when putting it back together and enjoy.
 
Picking it up tomorrow. I’m told it’s missing the quill clamp #52-53-54-55, and the fine feed worm gear assembly #23. Assuming it’s similar to the Grizzly G0705, shouldn‘t be too difficult to get up and running. This years fall project!

Includes a nice size indexable carbide face mill, and an Autolock milling cutter chuck.
