Hello John I thought I PM'd you when I got back from our trip, but I can't find it now (old age... sigh)
Just wanted to come by and pick up the brass if it is still available.

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

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

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....

The only place I have seen extruded aluminum of any form was at metal supermarkets, but they're generally overpriced. There are a few online suppliers too though.

the Oz/In rating on steppers is the amount of force that the stepper can hold without spinning. See: http://www.romanblack.com/stepper.htm
