• 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! 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!

Talk about honesty! “ We just don’t use it in our shop “
I figured that when I saw the leaves on it.
 
I have almost exactly the same model. Use it all the time. Heck it gets like at least 10h of use per month - maybe more.

I passed on several of this same model at well below this price because they appear to lack much headroom. Can you tell us what the machining envelope of this grinder is, particularly the max height of parts that can be ground Tom?

It has 6x 18 chuck - the range in Y is around 6in. Range in X is well over 18 - maybe 20 or more. The range in Z I am not sure of - I never run into this limit - but I never placed on the chuck anything larger than 10in.
