• 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!

    Question About Thread Milling

    I would go with a multi thread tool, not a single tool, to do something like a fixture plate. https://www.osgcanada.com/a-brand-at-1-16625 Something like that ^ It would be much faster than a single point, and give you better threads.

    1951 Monarch 10EE at Auction

    She is 23 years old and I can count the dents in the bed on one hand! Always oiled daily when used, always wiped ways with oil and gave lube system a few pumps before moving her. I bought the business from an older man who was my journeyman and when this machine was new in 1993, he took it...

    You don't think they are better than a modern Taiwanese manual lathe? Do you have a few links of these machines your saying are better? The Calgary auction 10ee for sale was mine, and I have to say I'm going to need some examples to back that up - it is by far the nicest, quietest, most...
