Hello all, been building welding and fabricating for most my life. Always wanted to get into machining and damn Abom79 and CEE on YouTube have been pushing me.
So I looked and few weeks back found a millwright who was moving and bought his rebuild Bridgeport and lathe, the lathe was actually made 10 minutes from my house in Galt. ( needs motor)

I’m looking forward to upping my makings and having fun and learning all the many tricks of the trade.

glad to have this Canadian resource when it comes to sourcing things in country. Like way oil lol. And figuring out a couple of odd things with my Bridgeport I haven’t got into yet.

Fingers284 from Canadian Gun Nutz sent me over here.

Welcome Dave, from a scorching Brampton. Some really nice folk to be found here. Most seem to have been around the block once or twice so no shortage of help if needed.
