• 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 Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

    What's Paul up to?

    Just look at those laser cut parts! WOW. The hell with a plasma cnc I know what I want now. How many watts do you need to cut 12mm steel? is that 12mm? and it's not just some hot rolled mild steel. What is material? is it treated?

    What's Paul up to?

    I think you could crown the wheel with a 1º cut on about a 1/3 of both sides then smooth it in with sand paper. I've done that with a wheel which turned a belt.

    Details details... yes. I was inspired to give it a go. Trying for a hinged lid. No idea of those ears for the screws will work or just bust.

    How Not to Produce a Simple Wood Pattern

    The 2D sketch and the Drawing dimensioning in Autocad Fusion is a great investment of time as the payback is greatly improved productivity. It's free for hobbyists with some minor limitations.

    A near miss and big consequences

    Good question John. We got our shingles vaccine at my sisters and friends urging who have gone through that. There is also a pneumonia vaccine which I got as I have had it a few times. They claim it covers viral and bacterial. I hope they are both effective. These things are helpful but we need...

    open source metal 3d printer

    This isn't exactly new but I finally read about this open source laser fusion powder bed 3d printer. Interesting concept. The article does not get into what the various bits cost. laser source, control system, pumps and such. It also relies on Autodesk Machine Control Framework (AMCF). open...
