• 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!

Hello from Scarborough

Welcome from Farm Country south of Chatham Ontario!

Sounds like you are already ahead of the game with all that equipment.

What are the mill, lathe, drill press, and valve grinder model numbers? Or better yet, post pictures! How well tooled are you? What kinds of things are you wanting to make?

Hi, The mill I have is a Craftex similar to a PDM30, the lathe is a 1300 series Standard Modern, the drill press is an old floor model Buffalo, and my valve grinder is a Sioux 645. I also have a bunch of other smaller pieces of equipment such as a shrinker/stretcher, bead roller, english wheel, bandsaw, hydraulic press, and welding equipment. My main area of interest is in building my 28 Model A hot rod.
