• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. 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!

    Hello From SW Ontario

    Welcome aboard to the forum from Burlington. I got a lot of help here when I was deciding what mill to get (3 years ago).

    FYI here’s the link to the kijiji seller. I talked to him. Seems like an ok guy - IMO definitely not a scammer. He is near Montreal - said he would ship even though he has not shipped before for a kijiji deal https://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-other/laval-rive-nord/tesa-tesatast-dial-test/1720883712

    Tesa DTI

    This morning I was looking at a 0.0001 Mitutoyo selling at $204 on Amazon and thinking that was maybe a better deal for than the used $120 kijiji Tesatast. Then Amazon bumped up the price to $240. From a different seller, Amazon also had a Mitutoyo 0.0001 DTI for $185 +tax (see pic below). I...

    How to measure high torque values?

    Back to torquing specs - almost 50 years ago a young engineer got fired because of improperly torqued cable clamps on a dragline. I got his job. I have always been very mindful of torquing specs

    How to measure high torque values?

    I’m a bit late joining in here - and may have missed that someone already said this - but my 2 cents worth: 2008 truck has been exposed to lots of nasty road dirt & salt. Don’t just torque that assembly without cleaning the threads first. Recommend torque specs are for clean, corrosion free...
