• 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!

Please help me to choose a lathe for my project

Hi Maxim, Perry in Calgary. I missed this thread. Sorry, late to the game. Don't forget about Grizzly Tools in Bellingham, Washington. The Canadian exchange rate might not be in our favor right now....but they have some good stuff. I picked up my mill from there about 10 years ago. Short drive for you.

Thanks, but too late.) We had an awesome trip through the Rockies, visited lake Louise. It was a huge bonus for us.

Nothing beats a nice road trip through the mountains. Especially in the fall. I use to work in Vancouver. 4 days there and back here to Calgary for 4 days off. I flew most of the time, but did switch out vehicles a number of times. Shorter than commuting to Toronto for work. :)

Alright, the lathe is now in its natural environment.

I'm sorry Maxim, I keep looking for the lathe in your photo, but I don't see it.
