• 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!

    Sounds to me like the system that allows the motor to start without fighting the high startup pressure isn't working.

    Yup, one leg only. The exception to this is circuits with a neutral and unbalanced loads. ^This

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    All kidding aside, I practically lived in crocs for several years outside of work. I developed some pretty bad problems with my feet but didn't associate them with my feet. I saw my family doctor who said I shouldn't wear crocs and referred me to a foot specialist. The foot specialist said no...

    Hell no. Those look plenty good enough for me. My point was only that the price is low enough to justify buying them again if I got it wrong the first time. And to be perfectly honest, I prolly wouldn't use them at all. I'd make my own cloth or latex condom based sleeve instead. ;)

    I knew about it, but it wasn't me who said it here Trev. I believe it was @PeterT - another fellow like me who likes to clutter up his brain with a lot of useless stuff. ;) While that is true, I have no beef with it all. Yes, the speed of light is a physical constant that very few can measure...

    Same for whitetail, and the love struck buck following her not too far back as well.

    I see, that changes things. I personally doubt that event had anything to do with national standards adoption but rather just the desire to maintain international "standards" of all forms in the national depository of the time. My guess is that any references to it as a turning point are just...

    If it did, I don't remember it. My boss was one of Canada's Metric Committee Members at the time representing the entire Auto Industry in Canada. I did a lot of the grunt work for him so I am very familiar with what happened. I don't ever remember that happening. What I do remember is that...

    Good point. In fact, that's really the whole point. Their low prices do vindicate the low level of certainty. At least from my point of view it does.

    Sure "Sweetheart", their chat is the most reassuring verification imaginable! (He says dripping with sarcasm).

    Sprayers are all US measure around here. Sometimes you also see Imperial. Rarely metric. The mandatory course is all US for sprayers and metric for the chemicals. My sprayer is a Hardi made in Denmark. The hardi nozzles are rated in USGal/minute at 40 psi. They do provide metric equivalents...

    I have a book "Beyond Measure" that was recommended by a forum member (I forget who) that reviews the history and function of modern metrology. It's a GREAT READ! The inch has a very colourful history. Before international standardization, the inch varied slightly between different countries...
