• 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!

    Cable pallet rack

    Cleaning out the storage unit. Cable operated pallet rack/lift table. Handy if you have a bad back like I do for transporting heavy stuff like rotary tables to back and forth. Just don't use it as I have a hydraulic lift table. Could use new inner tubes. $150 Goderich, Ont area

    Kleton Vertical rack

    Bought this with the intention of putting it inside my shop. Decided to go with a horizontal rack so I don't have to cut material to fit vertically. Looks brand new, barely a scratch. $200 Goderich, Ont area

    Machine BIG bandsaw. cuts 12" aluminium round in 11s. Sermas brand, France.

    Yup, that's the stuff. Slow days some tooling would be made with the drops. 123 blocks, parallels, sine bars etc. Can be case hardened, at least I was told as much. Some of the molds we did were for dashboards and door panels. Huge molds. Those blocks would come pre cut. The saw was for...

    Machine BIG bandsaw. cuts 12" aluminium round in 11s. Sermas brand, France.

    That's pretty cool. I did my apprenticeship at a plastic injection mold shop. We had a huge Hyd-Mech bandsaw that could cut to something like 30" stock. We used it for cutting solid blocks of P20. Blades were something like 2-3 teeth/inch. Slow speed, slow feed. Every now and again someone...

    Bandsaw worm gear

    Brass gear measures out at 1-7/8" diameter, 20 teeth, 20 degree PA, 12 DP. RH turn I believe I have lots of brass to waste into the scrap pile trying this. Just looking for opinions. I also thought about machining up a 20 position plate for my indexer and getting a set of gear cutters off...

    Bandsaw worm gear

    So I have the typical 4x6 busybee bandsaw so many of us have and the brass gear has pretty worn all the teeth off. I've never cut a gear before but figured I would try. I would first turn a worm from 4140 to the same dimensions as my bandsaw worm. I would then cut 4 or 6 reliefs in it and...
