• 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!

Stumbled across the site looking up information on scrapers. I am a licenseed tool maker and worked in a tool shop for 12 years. Moved to robotics about 9 years ago. A few months ago I was in the market for a snow mobile when I came across an emco maximat with a milling head that was brand new! Got the chip making bug again I guess. Since then I have renovated my basement and am 80% of the way to a fully functioning machine shop in the basement. This looks like a great site.
 
Hey there from Ancaster. I just finished setting up shop. I’m guessing that you are close. Welcome to the site. Cheers.

First half done and equipment setup.
 
You found a new Emco Maximat - now that was a score. In the 70's I borrowed a friends model engineering mags and books & recall this Japanese guy built these awesome steam locomotives on a Maximat lathe. His shop was a room in apartment building the size the average Calgarian would call a closet. I think its Austrian. right? What size?
