• 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!

8in. by 24in capacity. Vise can swivel to 45 degrees.

Yes, you read that right. 24 inches.

Older design, but all guide bearings, idler bearings and electrics have been completely replaced.
Electrical box has a provision for a 120V coolant pump, but no pump is installed. Motor has been replaced with a 2HP 240V motor.

New pulleys provide for speeds of 57, 93, 158, 266, and 439 feet per minute.

The saw could use a new blade. (It still cuts adequately, but has a small section where the teeth are worn.) I don't want to second guess what type of blade you prefer, so I and leaving the old one on it.

144in. x 3/4in. blades in a range of materials and tooth counts can be had from this company in Langford, ranging from about $30 for Flexback Carbon to about $70 for Bi-Metal or M2.


Or, you could spend $700 bucks on a new import 4x6 ;-)
