• 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!

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.

I have always wanted one of these. I just about bought one when Lee Valley Tools used to carry them. They stopped selling them and I have regretted ever since that I didn't get one while I could.

That's why I jumped on this one. I have some smaller parts to make and I think these lathes are good for that. Its only taken me to my 50's to be able to afford to have the tools I wanted as a teen. lol. I guess that's how the real world works.
 
Don't have the lathe any more. Bought it for my Dad when he moved to a condo. He had a shop most of his life and I owe him a great debt for all he taught me. He is long gone now, but somehow I still have this gold anodized toolpost for the Taig.
 
I had the lathe running. It's really neat. I'm going to try making the valve seats for my project on it. It's not been used much. The seller was awesome and sells fly fishing equipment. So we visited a bit when I picked it up. The book was an great plus as well as the milling attachment.
