I like the Everlast machines. I see a lot of professionals using them on YouTube. I have one of their multi function units and a plasma cutter. Compare the price and warranty to other brands.
Pretty chuffed about the alignment of my King 4x6 bandsaw now. That's a 2"x2" bar.

Ive been very impressed by that little saw. Adding a couple of extended plates to the vice to allow cutting right up to the blade is a great addition too.

Ooh- That's a good suggestion. Easy to do too!
Hi Paul...How did it work out for you with the First you bought? I am new to milling...dont have one yet but looking around and trying not too buy a lemon due to my inexperience or excitement. Im curious who you used to move the machine for you...950 to the Island seems reasonable...Im located in Delta...cheers, Brian

It's a monstrous bridgeport clone. First brand, probably 30 years old. Not appropriate for a small foot-print shop!
Good morning…. Any chance in your “clear out” that you might have any machine levelling feet? Just a shot in the dark. Thanks. Derek

There were, but they went with the machines. Easy to make though.

Hello from Victoria

Amateur at the age of eighty, just finished building a tiny shop in a

7 by7 garden shed. Room for my Taig micro mill and lathe plus drill press, rotary

tool and metal saw. This forum looks like a great place to get some education.
Finished the X Y, & Z DRO scales on my mill. I say finished, but I should say they are working. Very happy. Not jealous of others anymore. Working on taxes again and whenever I can slip away I putsy around a bit with my tool post spindle motor.
First time posting in this section. Seems a bit awkward.

Feeling hen pecked right now. Rather be working on the Z-Axis for my DRO. Won't be able to touch it till Sunday. :(

Jealous of @ShawnR right now.

Working X, Y & Z DRO now. I think a spindle motor tool holder just made it to the top of my list!
Good morning Peter,
I was reading your post re the better ball oilers that Stefan G. was using on his mill. I was trying to find the reference for those but could not find anything. I have a project that requires a few of these ball oilers and would be happy to get a better alternative to the offshore products. Would you recall the link or company that sells those better oilers.
Thank you,
Stefan Frey

Nope, I considered it but the Hendey is more my thing price wise since I might be able to break even selling my current machine.

I had a nice chat with Peter this afternoon. Just gotta figure out the when of picking it up. I can tow it and U haul trailers are cheap so the logistical details are no problem.

Yup, seems like a great machine. My friend here in Hamilton has a similarly heavy, small work envelope, tool room type lathe at home. I’ve used it and it blows my Churchill away.
Did you still want the dial Mitutoyo Dial Indicator.? I was waiting for you to message me when you were coming to pay and pickup?
Currently rebuilding a colchester student 13x24 lathe. Pieces all over the house and cottage(shop is at the cottage).

Also have a brown and sharpe no2 surface grinder. Early 1900s. And a sajo uf52 horizontal mill. Nothing running right now as the lathe is in pieces, I'm planning on going over the surface grinder and I need a phase converter for the mill.... and there is 2 feet of snow in front of the shed door lol
I am in Sherwood Park, by Edmonton. I have a lot of flutes and enough African Blackwood to be able to part with some if you get to flutes and pipes.
