Look for suitebel machines before they hit the scrapyard. I contacted a CNC sales company. They recive used machines when they sell new ones. They had a Agie sink EDM. The controlls where bad and the servos removed. I was alloved to removed all the rails and ballscrews for free.(2 redwine and chokolate to the bloke) The iron went to scrap.

I've been looking for a replacement scrapyard for ages since Rotblott and Sons closed. That was the best scrap yard I've ever seen. They had a bit of everything, and prices were paid by weight. Just put it on the scale. Needless to say prices were damn cheap! I've dealt with the owner Howard for ages. They were on prime real estate on Front street downtown Toronto. When a condo was put up right beside the scrapyard I knew it's days were numbered. Howard's son Andrew still runs the hardware part of the business downtown but Andrew is a real douche bag and I'll never deal with his store ever. Someone told me there is a good machinery scrapyard in Oshawa. Anyone know about that one?

Stumbled across this old thread. Just wondering if anyone in Toronto area had a good scrapyard these days? I'll be looking into starting something new soon, and I am okay with used. Linear bearings and aluminum channel or tubes are okay in terms of new prices, but no sense buying new when great still usable stuff exists out there.

Much appreciated I am trying to compare Aluminum Channel, rectangular tubes, and 80/20 for a build.
