• 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!

    Found this little gem - Schuchardt & Schuette Gear Hobbing Machine

    Thank a lot Mcgyver! It came with an assortment of gear, both small and large tooth counts. I'm not sure if they all fit behind the gearbox covers, but I'll have to see what's currently installed. So far I only have one gear hob that is already installed...not a bad start (haha). I'll definitely...

    Found this little gem - Schuchardt & Schuette Gear Hobbing Machine

    Thank you for the advice! I'm planning to gather as much literature as possible, along with general information on hobbing practices. I recently reached out to Schuette, who are still in business today, as well as the Museum of Technology in Munich, in hopes they can help me source some...

    Found this little gem - Schuchardt & Schuette Gear Hobbing Machine

    I fully agree with you and I am excited to bring new life back into this machine. More pictures will follow when I start working on it! The electric motor is mounted inline to a 3-speed gearbox (Lo, Med, Hi), hence the dipstick. The motor speed is rated at 1725 and the gearbox converts to...

    Found this little gem - Schuchardt & Schuette Gear Hobbing Machine

    Thanks, Trev! I got it as part of a package deal with another machine, and I think it worked out well. It came with a small box of gears, which is definitely better than nothing, and they should be useful for cutting the first few gears. 3D printing gears is a great idea. I’ll need to look into...

    Found this little gem - Schuchardt & Schuette Gear Hobbing Machine

    I never imagined I’d end up owning a gear hobbing machine, but when I came across this little gem, I couldn’t pass it up. This is a late 1920s Schuchardt & Schütte gear hobbing machine. These machines are quite uncommon—not just because they were specialized equipment at the time, but also...

    Surface Plate Marketplace Find

    I've been casually searching for a granite surface plate that was reasonably priced for my needs. I had been considering a few brand new 2' x 3' surface plates, but I hesitated to opt for a cheaper Grade B quality. However, last week I stumbled upon this awesome find on Marketplace that I...

    Hi Kelly, thanks for your prompt reply and too bad you've already sold it...but then again it's been years since you listed it for sale! I saw you have an Airhead in your picture and I am actively looking for a Sunnen hone to assist with engine repair work. The airhead engines have some...
