• 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!

Not gunna happen!!! If I never do automation/CNC again for the rest of my life it will be too soon and it's already too late for welding. Both are right up there with eating liver with brussel sprouts and live clams.
 
It would have to go to 5,000 dollar non refundable credit plus free shipping plus free returns before I get interested.....
 
There were a couple Fanuc welding robots for sale locally here for around $5k. I was very tempted..... I will own one someday, and make different tool attachments for it. Like a wood router, and plasma torch, mig whip, etc. Checkout the youtube channel Lignum to see what they do with theirs. You're only limited by your imagination.

@jcdammeyer ...... You hear this, pre built robot arm with half the fixin's...... ;) :p
 
I have to babysit some vintage ABB robots at work, and you are screwed either way. if they are new the parts are very expensive and if they are old the parts are still very expensive and now also rare.

oh the servo on axis 5 is acting up? well you have to take THE ENTIRE KNUCKLE OFF with the help of a bridge crane.

I don't know if I would take one even if it was free TBH
