• 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!

That is exactly the size of machine I was hoping for. Can't find out much info on the model. Is that the spindle motor hung underneath the head? Probably not for me as I don't know enough but if it is cheap enough it might be fun to find out :)
 
Very interested in this one! The mill is the next (last? hah, as if!) piece of equipment that we need to replace pretty urgently at the Vancouver Hack Space, as our current mill's owner has mentioned wanting it returned as he now has a workshop of his own. My poor wallet - we only just replaced the lathe too for the same reason!
 
oh nope, I'm skipping this one after all - my hands are full right now and this mill would be Yet Another Project. Hopefully another similar one will come up soon that'll be a bit less of a project.

Good luck @PaulL!
