  • 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!

Ok.


This one looks interesting. I don’t know much about the really old Colchester… but one of you guys in sask might as well get this thing.

I decided when I get a different lathe I just want a newer one that doesn’t need anything. This one might need some work, and one of you more distinguished older gentlemen might want this thing, or it might be the best deal of my life that I’m missing out on, but I don’t know.

One of you Colchester knowing guys should have a look at this ad…. Maybe @Dabbler or @TorontoBuilder

@Doggggboy this is in your neck of the woods?

Its a decent lathe. At that price if you can move it I can't see you going wrong.

I mean owned by the city of Moose Jaw, how much use could it even have seen?

There are really good support groups for Colchester lathes too.

This is the same one that was advertised in govdeals a couple of weeks ago.

Edit : it's still there at $54

Great job!

Now let’s hope it being left outside didn’t cause any damage, and they didn’t pick it up by the spindle when they moved it.
