    Tool How to drive taps

    In custom lighting, the vast majority of our fasteners are 1/4-20 or smaller. Lots of #4 screws for LEDs and similar components. We've got two Tapmatic 50x tapping heads, and I picked up a 30x used a few years ago. I'll run 4-40's in the 30x comfortably. To be fair, though, it's almost always in...

    Large Canadian grinder

    We have roughly the same machine at work! Ours is running as a belt sander, with a back idler and platen set up. Works great, just a 10" x 4" buffing wheel as a drive/contact wheel.

    Miller Dynasty 280

    Yes, the forum stories about repair costs have been a big factor (well, and purchase price!) in not doing this earlier. The guy I bought it from has two more. Works as a millwright, used to take them to sites (food processing, with on site stainless welding stuff), and is very happy with them...

    Deckel Maho MH600W CNC milling machine, $4000, Goderich, ON

    Very little repetition (10-20 pieces at most), and no, it’d take ages to pay for itself, at face value. This is purely out of personal interest, on my part, and on Gabe’s (the younger guy who was at the meet-up with his girlfriend). I’m not talking about asking my boss to buy it, just us...
