• 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!

9150 hours, a bar feeder and a huge chip handler. They made a lot of parts. Almost 10 years old. 1000 hours a year.
 
380000 tool changes! I wonder what they were making. Assuming 10 tool changes per part that’s 38,000 parts
 
Well there is a company in sunny side business centre, white rock BC, called xl aero and they are a manufacturer of aeronautical parts. I guess that is what they are making 38000 of. Bolts or fasteners? I mean what do you need 38000 of anything for planes?

Google maps is so powerful. For good I hope.

I guess I’m assuming they are making the same part but that is what a bar feeder is for. Many many of the same part. Largely unattended and automated.
 
Nice machine. Condition is everything. Could still be near perfect as long as it has never been crashed
