Your 15" lathe?... I am looking to eventually upgrade from my 12X37... can I see a picture when you decide it is time?

BTW a hotshot service with a 4000lb crane is a lot cheaper than a rigger...

I'm writing this as a PM because I don't like the limelight. I moved my 1500lb mill from Vancouver to Calgary in my own trailer - by myself. Add a 3000lb safe, and my 3000 lb milling machine that unloaded by myself, I think I can help you. let's talk by phone however. 403 827 1434 any time before 2am - I usually get up about 7am

Fair enough. Ive put together a bundle of 3x0.125, 5x0.12, 4x0.95 3x0.62 and 1x0.03

I should look at it; but various thicknesses would probably be best.

I could go for some of that. Can I get 10 lbs from you?

Hello, I'm contacting you in reference to a post with pics of your ct1440 lathe that is identical to mine in appearance. I have looked extensively online and even called cantek but cannot seem to find the correct manual. Would you be willing to send a PDF copy to me? Thanks for your time!

Does anybody know where to purchase the square extruded aluminium that they use on the DIY kit for CNC Are there different sizes available?
It would be nice if there was someone local that can supply it. Are stepper motors also available locally. What is the difference between a 270oz. compared to a 500oz. stepper.
I'm doing a little project with my nephew....

My phone is 647 (redacted) - you can text me. I am back from work late each evening but I can arrange for my father to show you the stuff.

Sure, I have also 4330 and some stainless.

sorry for the finger fumbles - I didn't catch them until I hit "Post"!

I've been trying to source out some 4140 for a few projects: I've been trying for square/rectangular, but rounds will do... Can I come around ad see what's what and buy some?

P.S. Just gor an Emmerson horiz. bandsaw If I can help out...

Ok maybe that was it...? But now I need to attach image.....

Ok I just have to figure out how to pm?
