• 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!

In AB you are going to wait a while for a nice cheap unit. The ones on auction went recently for like 2500 - 3500 each. They are in 3000 - 5000 lbs class.
OTOH if you wait deals are out there - however you may have to be patient.
 
Yeah I can be patient. Not a panic. I have a little Rockwell tool maker grinder im using but leaves to many chatter markers. I'm also building a surface grinder attachment for my 2"x72" grinders for roughing out knife billets.

It was an older restoration project Rockwell delta I think - had a 5" x 8" mag table and would sit on a work bench.. Add was up long enough for me to let @trlvn know about it - 5 minutes later - sold.

I am on the ship so these sort of deals are a real pisser as I cannot really do much about it....just morn the loss I guess.... There are a few in Toronto right now for $500 but again, on the ship for 2 more weeks so have to play the lottery.

Depending on @Chicken lights trucking we could start a machinery export to Alberta - Buy, restore,sell, ship or buy and sell , ship ... LOL
