Found this site through a recommendation on hobby machinist.
Starting to get back into fun metalwork after not really doing much for the past umpteen years with all this free time I've been having with Covid.
Nothing fancy, just a small Sherline 4400 lathe and milling column. Usually make single one off parts (haven't had the joys of working on a project with multiple parts ... yet, have some plans for the near future)
Eventually looking for a larger and sturdier dedicated milling machine, as well as a larger capacity lathe. Both 'bench top' size (<20A 120V & <200lbs or so) as I still don't have a garage with power at the moment. I really like the accuracy and build of the Sherline, but it is a little on the small side (cut capacity, and sometimes work capacity).
Also on the lookout for good Canadian suppliers, rather than having to pay customs and duty a few times for tooling/equipment/etc with our Peso...
Thanks!
