• 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!

    That's it, I tried to post this photo on another site but couldn't. Probably because I hadn't made the required number of posts. I used to work in a number of gov't labs/workshops back in the day, these machines didn't see a lot of use as a general rule, they can be a good deal.

    Welcome from Ontario! My mother's side was from Nokomis, I visited Saskatoon often, back in the day.

    I've spotted the same one, I wondered about the 3ph550V motor too. It's in my neighbourhood so I'm thinking of looking it over in person.

    Small repair....

    I mounted the plate, I need 3 hands to complete the full cycle out of the water. Works pretty slick, those lake trout don't stand a chance now.

    Whaat....too much? The blueberries just finished their season but there's another short blueberry season near Shawinigan Quebec starting soon, some sort of micro climate thing..... Here's the finished product. I'm gonna send some photos to the manufacturer in the States, "here's how it's done"

    Small repair....

    Jorogi's milled bars arrived, the fit was bang on! Here's the initial fitting.... All that needs to be done is to drill 2 holes to accept the springs and some cursory filing to round the ends and chamfer the holes. Awesome!

    Dead Flies!!

    I gave one to a friend for Christmas when I couldn't convince her that waving her arms wildly and jumping around just annoyed the yellowjackets. She became a crack shot with it....
