• 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!

Price is steep but it looks like the seller is a scrapper. Probably picked it up and figures he can get a more than scrap value for it. One could probably work a deal.

Neat looking machine, don’t think I’ve seen a small horizontal quite like it before. I know exactly where it was made, not far from my house. It’s a condo building now haha.

I like the esthetics of some antique machinery, old Dalton Lathes and such. The larger they are and especially the wide leather belt line driven machines, I would rather look at someone else’s. If you just like old and curious that’s ok, but paying top dollar for a machine that is extremely limited in its ability and function is not very practical. There are still good bargains to be had for very functional machinery at way better prices.
