Hi All,

Another new member from New Brunswick, just outside the Fredericton area. I’ve been reading on the site for a while and figured it was time to join. Hoping to find a decent used lathe over the next few months.

I haven’t seen much for sale lately, so if anyone knows of any good ones available in the maritimes, please let me know.

thanks
Mark
 
Welcome Mark!

A warm welcome from Winnipeg! ;)

What kind of work are you looking to do with the Lathe? Do you have a particular size / project-domain in mind? or are you just scouting?

I don't know anything about the maritime machine tool market I'm afraid, sorry about that!
 
Welcome Mark from chilly Saskatchewan, best of luck in finding a lathe to fit your needs.
 
Thanks for the welcome.

I‘m looking to do a little gunsmithing, mainly chambering barrels for myself. Ideally I’d like to get something around 14x40 or there abouts.

The maritime tool market is a little more sparse than Quebec/Ontario. Anything good and reasonably priced goes fast(same as everywhere I suppose). Most used machines/tools here seem overpriced compared to other areas.

I’m at the point I need to start looking in Quebec and Ontario and be prepared to go for a drive, or start to consider buying new.

If you lived a little closer I'd suggest that you just jump in the car and come over here with your parts..... On the other hand, it's wouldn't be like driving to Calgary or Vancouver......
 
Welcome aboard Mark !!
I am new to the group as well.
Lots of helpful comments and friendly guys.
 
There is a lathe for sale at Harbor city electromechanical in Saint John, they are looking for $1000. I believe it is a southbend.
