• 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!

    SFM RPM Chart

    Your chart is well done, simple, fast and easy. Nice. I plan to make a similar chart and stick it on the drill press, lathe and mill. I now use an over simplified version that is on my mill. Or i use the Little Machine Shop app on my phone. The app is great but not nearly as fast as a close at...

    Product Vise Stop!

    The price of the one below is tempting - but it is a weak want (and not a need). I park this spare indicator magnetic base at the back of the mill tray - it works well, no tools are needed, it is quick to adjust/place, and has a fine adjustment. (I bought a dial indicator from Accusize. The...

    ooops sorry - I didn't mean to hurt your feelings - as said above, I liked your idea - I just put a CW spin on it (saying it twice was once more than enough)

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    Yep I got the real McCoy - they arrived today. By getting a few 100 then the delivered & taxes in cost is 3 cents each. They go on/off easily on the larger magnet and are also a tight fit (magnet with blue handle) - so IMO they are just a bit better than my salvaged glove finger. The cots are...
