    Granite Square sourcing

    Hey folks! Anyone have a granite square? How do you like it? and crucially: where did you get it? I'm on the lookout for a 300x400x60mm (12x15x1.5") (ish; I am pretty flexible here!) granite square. I'd really love to know if there are odd vendors that I should know about? Anyone come...

    Why not try an orange vise? https://www.orangevise.com/orange-bench-vise/ ...mostly kidding; though they are legit solid + amazingly backed up! That price though.

    Rotary table near Winnipeg

    Yeah; I have zero luck getting anything half decent from amazon. I always end up back-and-forth returning the stuff I get 2-3 times before I finally get something even close to spec. Assuming free shipping, it looks like the current listings on Amazon.COM appear to be ~300 (Table...

    Add your first name & picture to your profile please - what do you all think?

    PERSONALLY; I go by my real name and image everywhere online. I've always preferred that people know who I actually am and that I have nothing to hide. I personally find that sharing location information (at least the "region") very valuable; I'd hate to get into a chat with someone...

    Rotary table near Winnipeg

    I considered messaging the owner of this 6" rotary table; https://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-other/winnipeg/6-inch-rotary-table/1601071430 as I'll def need a dividing setup in a few months and this isn't a bad price for what it is. There's NO brand info; I assume it's a cheap generic (prob from...

    Someone check my math please.... Arduino Shaper Ram FPM Sensor

    Sonic transducer trying to hit a pin-point in open air repeatedly and reliably? Please excuse my potential ignorance here; but don't you actually just want to measure the radial velocity of the final drive wheel? I guess GETTING to that drive wheel may be difficult (depending on the...

    Another "Thinking about acquiring a mill" thread

    Well; I bit-the-bullet and placed an order for a PM-30MV. I ended up deciding on a PM product after positive after positive after positive review from users here and on hobby-machinist; even the users who ended up selling or returning machines: have nothing but good things to say about PM...

    Another "Thinking about acquiring a mill" thread

    Well; I have to say; I reached out to PM today to get a quote for a PM-30MV (and some accessories) shipped including lift-gate service and I can say for sure: you're 100% right; I was very surprised at what a great shipping option they offered. I spend a few minutes yesterday...

    Another "Thinking about acquiring a mill" thread

    AIMING for delivered machine cost to be under $5500. I can be convinced on better value though. I'm planning to add a DRO, Table feed (or two), Powered Z, a half-decent vise, (etc) all at a later stage. I will likely DIY many of the electronics and just use steppers for most of this; it's...

    Another "Thinking about acquiring a mill" thread

    Currently I'm leaning towards the PM-30MV; Somehow I missed that the PM-727V only has 15" (380mm) of X travel which scratches it off my list. At this stage; I'm trying to figure out the assembly weight of the major "chunks" on the PM-30MV, I'll need to be able to break down and transport...
