• 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 everyone. I ve been looking for a Forum to share ideas and came across this. I have a small back yard shop, I ve been into metal fab for since my early 20's. Purchased a emco maximat standard lathe mill combo about 5 years ago. I recently sold it so i could get a larger lathe 14x40 and maybe a separate mill (depending on when the addition goes in). I am a licensed Electrician and in my previous life was a Tv repair Tech. Hopefully i can contribute to this community and learn a few things along the way>
 
Welcome from farmland south of Chatham. You will like this place. Guys like me have a very twisted sense of humour though. Never take me serious.

We’ll I ended up purchasing a modern tool C0636A it should arrive in about 6-8 weeks as there out of stock. Almost bought the king but the modern was a far better deal.
