• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

Unique tool - MillLathe for miniature work. Lyn ON

I bought this last year with the hopes of learning to use it for decorative embellishments on my pens. Unfortunately I’ve never had the chance, and doubt that I will.

It’s capable of doing all types of operations.
It uses a Rotary tool mounted on and is capable of all types of rotary turning.
It also includes a rotary milling table attachment.
These were made in the US, but the company no longer exists. They used to be sold by Woodcraft. The guy I bought it from, essentially bought every attachment that could have been purchased with it. It comes with a mount to fit a Foredom tool. According to the instructions, it can also be fitted with a dremel. Unfortunately that is the one piece not included. Should be easy to make though.
Here is a Wayback link to their page in 2001. http://shop.woodcraft.com/Woodcraft/assets/html/homepage.asp

I have a scanned copy of the manual, but it’s 113MB.

My pen making is going in a different direction at the moment, so I have never used it.

I’m just looking to get what I paid for it. $500 plus shipping.
