• 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!

Boy-howdy somebody got a smashing buy. Gun drills alone would easily be 10x the high bid alone. A lot of machinery for $2150.

Tried to link but failed... google Clubbid Gun drill

Yes, no kidding, I've bought a couple of gun drills @ about $300 per !
 
Well I got the slotting attachment at that auction but its too big for my mill ;(((

The problem with that system is the price of the bid plus removal fees plus disposal of unwated machine plus seller fees of the gun drills will eat into your profit. This is very specialized machine - not easy to "deal with" on both commercial nor hobby market. Specialized stuff may cost two arms and four legs to buy but when you need to sell it you are lucky to get more then scrap price for it.
 
Well, when you do get the machine and you need the drills touched up - give me a call. My T&C grinder came with the Eldorado jig - so I sharpened a few GDs for the guys at work (Eldorado has a great web site - walks you through the steps for sharpening). I may never use it again, but it's cool!
 
Wrong guy I didn't even now about the auction till I seen the post here. In my machinery budget (RRSP based) such things are not to be had. I couldn't afford the Moving bill.
But if the member who did Buy the lot post the surplus items in the classifieds ....
