  • 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!

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!

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?

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.

Hello. I'm not sure if he has sold the chuck. He does tend to go on email holidays occasionally LOL. I'll provide you his number if you could please mention Peter gave to you for this purpose. 1-780-436-6928 (Edmonton)

I have since got a hold of him and have paid for the chuck, so you can mark your advert as sold!

Thanks for your help!

Morning. Hope your doing well.

I’m hoping you might be able to help me out. I am looking into an auction for a mini mill in Aylmer. How close is Aylmer to you. If my bidding gets serious, and if I need it, would you be able to take a look at the mill for me?

Thanks.
Not sure if I will get it. Someone has been bumping my bids, and I have just about reached my max. I’ve got my fingers crossed, I’m currently winning,
Auction ends on the 19th, with pick up on the 20th.
I’ll let you know as things progress.

I hope you get your wish! Can we know what kind of factory it is? Machining business?

Hi @a smile. I guess I don't understand your question. Probably a translation issue. What factory are you asking about? My old job or some new adventure?
Tomc938
Are the lathe tools still available? If so, do you have a close up picture and can. you tell me what you would be asking?

Thanks!

I have sold the 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks but everything else is available. I will send you some pics along with prices tomorrow.

I have a small horizontal mill, no known brand. 5x7x3.5" table movement. Has a 1/2hp motor, ER32 collet chuck. Might not be what you were first thinking of but this got me going for the past 5 years.

I am limited to my basement shop.
The machine needs to be compact and versatile.
Some of us do not have that 40‘ x 80‘ shed to work with, at least not yet.

I'm in part of a 12x20 secton of the basement. Most things are on wheels, except my lathe and Atlas MF. That way I can make space by moving stuff out of the way when not in use.

Creativity comes into play when we are challenged by restrictions. Some of the best ideas and arrangements come from reworking basic assemblies and setups. Keep those wheels handy, it’s easier then dragging things around.
