  • 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!

    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...

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    Do you find the Xcelite drivers smell like puke? We have them all over work, in almost every toolbox and they all smell like vomit. It's effing weird

    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

    Jeez, where must you live if material is priced like that?

    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...

    D1-4 18" faceplate

    18" faceplate, D1-4 mount. She's a biggie. Been sitting under my bench and I want the space back. I dont want to do any jobs big enough I'd that I'd need this for. $200 I'm in the Goderich area but do make trips to TO and London so can meet up.

    Bernerd D1-4 Collet Chuck

    It does have the closing nut and wrench. Just the angle of the pic. Not entirely sure of the model #. I can break out the magnifier and see what I can read on it. The price is right for sure, just figure someone from here can give it a better home.

    Bernerd D1-4 Collet Chuck

    I'm throwing this back out here. I tried selling it last year but the deal fell though and got tired of tire kickers, so I took it down... Burnerd collet chuck with a D1-4 camlock mount. Collets to 1-1/2”. Some normal wear but in good condition. I did a runout check in my lathe on the taper...

    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.

    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...
