I heard once that the containers on the seaward? outside stacks on the container ships can be more prone to leaking and rust damage if the seals are weak but yours looks like it was lashed to the top of a rowboat.

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.

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!

I'll wait and see what it looks like when I get it out of the crate and have at it with some oil and steel wool.

Now all you need is an ACORN and a few Clearpath SDSK's and you're set.

That is the next upgrade to the CNC, hard part it is going to be at least a 2 complete disassemble re-assembly deal as measurements and part must be made using the existing machine. Good part is improved lubrication will be done at the same time.
So a guided tour is now "Stand here. Turn 360 degrees. Tour complete!"

Steel wool and WD40, wipe with paper towel.
Nice job cleaning up that rust. I guess it looked worse than it was in the photos. I had a vise that came in looking like that once and it also cleaned up ok but left some black staining. I didn't complain because they tossed in the vise for free when I bought the milling machine.
It would certainly reshape the shop. That thing has its own gravitational well!You know....... That shaper will move the shop expansion project up to number 41......
The thing is a beast. It's probably 4-4.5 ft tall and about six feet deep.You know....... That shaper will move the shop expansion project up to number 41......
The seller is Stewart Mountain Forge. He also offers a smithing course. Super nice fellow.
Fantastic David! But does make you wonder what their markup is.....
Not terribly concerned really given that what I paid delivered was about $800 less than the same machine from Busy Bee before delivery.

And since the budget had already been allocated for tools, getting a $460 refund means you can buy $460 of tooling and still be within budget (less cost of steel wool and WD40).
