• 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.

    Hi! Jeff. Don Sipes in Airdrie. Last winter I made a post here about wanting to bore and hone 2 stroke cylinders. It's still something I would like to do, but for now I'm going to have someone do it for me. If your set up to do 2 stroke stuff I'll get you to do them? THANKS

    Moving the head on a round column mill.

    I've never used a round column mill but I have read many posts on various forums about the limitations of round column for varying tool lengths. This link offers some hack to deal with this problem that I found interesting.

    Very similar but not from a treadmill. I suspect maybe it was intended to be paired with a gear reduction drive. The output shaft is only 3/8 inch, it's short and has a slot cut in the end like it was intended to engage with something other than a pully and it's only about 1/4 HP.

    Not sure on attachment yet. But extension on the bottom edge will probably bolt to a frame that supports the headlight, signal lights and possibly a bikini fairing. Frame will attach to upper and lower triple clamps. At least that's the plan till I change my mind. Bike is a 1972 Kawasaki H1 500...
