• 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!

DavidR8's shop shenanigans

After hearing nothing from the buyer of my machines since he read my message Tuesday morning I sent a message telling him that if I don't hear from him by Friday with a date and time I'm keeping the deposit and putting the machines back on the market.

Well glory be, he'll be here Friday after work.

They are both sold. I wouldn't go mini, been there, done that. A 10x22 makes the most sense. Like the one Blondihacks has.

Never hurts to take a step back before taking that new next step forward. The world is changing very quickly these days.

I won't say too much here... Personally, I think you made a good choice when it comes to looking at smaller machining equipment for home hobby adventures.

Thanks, I appreciate that.
I spent an hour or so last night clearing space so that the machines can be made ready at the overhead door.
They definitely take up a lot of space. Next machines will definitely be benchtop machines.

Did you sell your tooling, power feed and fancy head alignment jig with the mill?
