• 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!

    Sine Plate, $300, London, ON

    I contacted the seller. Unfortunately it's not a hinged plate.

    Starrett 12" machinist level - $200 - Goderich, On

    12" is perfect for most things and cost efficient. If it's a longer bed you just need to run the level along the bed in more areas. It's long enough to go over bedways (I use 123 blocks to get it up over the vees). Bridgeport and surface grinders. Leveling out a mid size CNC bridge mill...

    WTB 220v 1 phase 1 hp motor

    Any way to get it re-wound? I had my 600V/3ph re-wound to 220V/3ph to run a freq for $400. Getting it repaired/re-wound may be cheaper than you think.

    compound sine plate, $3300, Langdon, AB

    Ive only ever had to use one once. It was used to grind a cutting tool used for re-facing a radiused surface on a machine used to fuel reators. Had to math the hell out of it. Turned out great though. I'm currently trying to find a sine plate for my home shop. Tough to come by. Lots of...

    Going by the prices in the rest of his ads, which are crazy, no. Everything else he's selling is pie in the sky as well

    Tool Good grinding disks

    I've tried them all (mostly) over the years but always go back to Walter. Yes they cost more but last significantly longer than PAuto or Amazon stuff, they blend nicer and use better abrasives. Same with zip cuts but I recently bought 2 boxes of Klingspor zip cuts that I'm pleasantly...

    Tool creep?

    I'm also talking the vise itself. I usually lightly stone both the vise bottom and table, wipe clean and lightly oil. I then clamp the vise down and tram the edge so it's square, but also the bottom of the vise jaws to make sure it's not off kilter. Off by a few thou or two and errors can...

    Tool creep?

    End mills can easily walk out of R8 collets especially with heavy cuts. The flutes "pull them out" of the collet, and can actually pull the workpeice up out of the vise as well, as has happened to me plenty of times. There are threaded endmills that lock into specific holders (weldon shank) and...

    LOOKING FOR a sine plate and a few other tools

    Hey, looking for a sine plate in the 8-12" range, a few various sizes of angle plates and V blocks. I'm located in mid-western ontario/walkerton area but I'm willing to travel (just hopefully not to the guts of Toronto) PM me if you are wanting to clear some space.

    Troubleshooting Colchester Master

    So I recently got a Colchester Master running. I found that when the lathe is on (motor and pump running, chuck not engaged), the chuck spins until I hit the brakes a few times. The chuck also continues to spin when I hit the carriage lever to neutral after some cuts. One would assume the...
