• 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!

I think someone picked up a lot of machine for $205.
As long as it is still functional, you can create a lot of CHIPs !!

What kind of world do we live in where this beautiful machine goes for that cheap. Power feeds, power rapids in three dimensions, vertical head, overarm. I mean youd be lucky to buy a table saw for that much. I hope it went to someone who will appreciate it. Excuse me while i go cry myself to sleep
 
Makes you think of how many ‘used’ work horses are sitting idle while NEW units with shiny surfaces and simple actuators are replacing the machines we have used for years.
Rebuilding and adding updated components should extend the utilization of many
work centers that have produced for years in ‘manual operation’.
 
damn, that beats my $400 for a smaller version of the same mill, and this one has the pump and vertical head!
