Hello Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am very much an amateur when it comes to machining. I first used a metal lathe when I went to SAIT for Engineering Design back in the 90’s and I loved it. I bought a little Craftex B1979C years ago to make some simple car and bike parts and I can honestly say it is the best tool I have ever bought.

Looking forward to being a member here.

Cheers

Welcome from Ontario Farm Country south of Chatham.

I agree. My lathe is my very very favorite tool. I love the other machines too, but my lathe is whole level higher up.

35 years ago, some buddies and I drove out to Alberta from the Grand Bend area and wound up in Brooks to see another buddy, must be close to you.
Lots of experience here, for machining, building and sales development.
