• 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!

Enco 100-1527 model 1991 dated . Pretty clean machine . I've got one issue and need to ask . On top of the spindle , there is a plastic sleeve that is loose and the spindle will not retract to the top stop . It's about 3" long and the ID looks to be the same size as the spindle up top . Is this a chip shield ? I can't find this part shown or listed on any of their manuals . One manual states a spindle dirt guard but it doesn't have a pic . I ran the mill and it's quiet as hell , so it's not effecting the spindle or bearings . I just can't figure this out other than it was installed to keep stuff from falling into the bottom bearings from the front ???? I'm going to pull it out as it IS split , but hopefully I won't be tearing down the head afterwards . :rolleyes:

There's no room in the garage. Where are you going to put it?
 
Holy cow! Now that's what I call a shop! Just look at that heavenly mess! I LOVE IT!

Looks like a great opportunity to pull an @David and build a new add-on for the new machine.

Oh ya, nice mill too!
