• 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. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

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.

It is a B1977 model, the same as mine. The machine at auction has a vice, a few collets and tools but no DRO or power feed. No obvious damage. As delivered, they require a 15 amp, 240 volt circuit.

Round column, belt-change machines come with a particular set of features and problems but I'm largely happy with mine.

Note that this particular model weighs nearly 600 pounds whereas many other RF-30 machines are just about 500.

Given that it is located north of Lake Scugog, it is possible that the final price may be a little more wallet-friendly. ;)

I have the same one. Its worth it if a person is close enough to drive for it. It comes apart easily and the parts can be carried by two people. Me and my wife have moved mine twice now.

Given the location I know the dealer who will buy this. Unless I do.

Of course I have no vehicle to pick it up any more, so I'd have to rent one...

But with everyone else turning these into cnc mills I feel left out
