• 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!

    What is more valuable?

    I wish you the best Matt, and I am glad to see that when it matters most our HC system excels. You just never know when life is going to try to screw you up the ass, which is why I decided to try to spend more time with my friends in real life. Even when I feel like shit, feeling like shit...

    Classic facebook scam...

    Guy posts "free lathe" to get interest. I call... Guy says it absolutely MUST be moved in by the end of the next day... I say, I think I can make it happen for the right price. Then asks "what do you want to pay" I told him the reality he was up against and gave him a fair price based on...

    Mitutoyo indicator stand 7019B operation.

    Once I decided to have a legitimate go at it and got out my pliers with leather covered jaws they came out easily. The pistons spun easily, it was the vacuum that was holding them tight. IF I was filing from scratch I'd use a syringe and care but in this case I just tipped out from a 4 liter...

    Mitutoyo indicator stand 7019B operation.

    Thanks, I found that too independently but I appreciate that you posted it here. Great resource. Both my stands went from flaccid nonagenarian to viagra taking 40 year old with just 1cc each of oil. They're super solid indicator stands, so I wonder why they were discontinued.

    Mitutoyo indicator stand 7019B operation.

    They dont really show the internals. I hope if I can get the pistons out to add hydraulic oil and perhaps fix them

    Mitutoyo indicator stand 7019B operation.

    I have two of these, but the wont tighten... I hope it is just in need of hydraulic fluid. Anyone have this model and a manual and parts list? They're discontinued and I can't find squat on them

    Can someone cut me two jig parts on their CNC router?

    I've had to change my choice of panel connectors since european Knapp connectors come from the USA because the Canadian distributor in BC distributor only wants to sell timberframe connectors. I have a dowelmax jig, but I don't like dowels that much nor the dowelmax jig for that matter. I want...

    CA-BC Amazon.ca vs direct from Accusize?

    speaking of coffee.... I buy locally roasted barzula coffee in an espresso grind. I buy case with 24 packages of 250gram espresso grind coffee. This size in stores sells for $4.99 each typically. Competitors like Lavazza cost $6.99 ea. When I buy bulk the cost works out to $3.33 each. I...

    CA-BC Amazon.ca vs direct from Accusize?

    The reality anywhere, shipping costs. I've never purchased an accusize item I ever wished to return. They've always exceeded my expectation. If a part was missing the company will make it right at their expense though. The costs of amazon's free shipping is just hidden and has a greater impact...
