  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

Bench Top Lathe - help needed

Help to find it a new home, that is.

This is my lathe from years ago when I got started. It is a Hardinge Cataract 7 in lathe.
It was a very good lathe to learn on. I have upgraded up considerably over time ( VFD with remote control box

, new motor, new flat belt, wood turning capability etc) . The bearings are good and tight.

I eventually I got a South Bend.

I am still a new member here so I am limited about what I can post ( I think) .
I've tried sending private messages to some of the folks who said they were starting out, but so far no replies.

I'm located in the Toronto area. The lathe is powered up so a new person can see it in operation.
I'd rather not go though the Kijiji experience there are too many "trolls" out there.
So if any of you know of some one who might like it, please let me know.
I'm asking $650
