• 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.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

    Machinist Tool Box Chest, $500, St. Albert, AB

    What’s everyone’s thoughts on the price on this? Pre-covid in Ontario I would get these for 250-350 (often with some odds and ends contents). Since I moved to Alberta a few years ago I don’t see as many here for sale, also don’t think the demand is the same either. I have no thoughts on this...

    The undercutter

    I've been getting garlic from Ironman for a while, usually about 10 pounds a year. We store it in cardboard/paper in a cool storage room in our basement. Lost a few bulbs this year, but we moved and our storage area isn't the same conditions as the old house, hope to have that fixed for this year.

    Shop Potential modification of Shop Crane for parallel feet

    If you use your original design, but add two more crosswise receiver tubes (going left to right so to speak) beside the first set, you could have your width adjustment vary a lot more, with much longer tubes to start with.

    Actually what you are doing with the die grinder is quite close to what the process is for fitting larger plastic injection moulds. In the mould industry that would lilely get you within .001” or so for fit, which is close enough usually to keep plastic from flashing through the parting lines.

    That one is a Climax setup. Our larger 5” bar setup is a shop made Climax knockoff. Should have that one setup and running this summer sometime.
