• 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. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

    WTB *used* 3/4 HP 1725rpm 1Ph 220V frame 56 motor with C flange

    Before I head over to princess auto and buy one, I'm curious if anyone has one of these motors laying around. Calgary area or close to it as shipping will kill me. Here's a pic of one at princess auto...

    Little Machine Shop Special of the Week

    Unless the item is specifically listed in the reciprocal tariffs annouced by the GoC on Tuesday this week (Mar 4/25), it wont be subjected to a 25% tariff. Canada is specifically targetting certain US exports for tariffs. I just had a quick search for 'tools' 'machine' 'machinist' in...

    Lantaine Lathe, BC Interior Shuswaps $2000

    Since @YYCHM didnt post a followup pic, I've kinda figured out why some of you dont see my posts in this forum with pictures.

    Making an electric motor adapter for Nema 56C to a B5 D71 Flange

    @Janger First off, thanks for everything so far. I think at this point its best if I send you a PM and maybe we can arrange a meet and I can bring what I have and explain the setup and constraints?

    Making an electric motor adapter for Nema 56C to a B5 D71 Flange

    Quite possibly? This is probably the most complex machine I've had my grubby hands into. I've been around cabinet shops but they've always been 'Dont touch it except basic maint, we call the vendor for service' situations. I have it half disassembled for inspection, cleaning, and de-rusting...

    Making an electric motor adapter for Nema 56C to a B5 D71 Flange

    Is the CAD Step file I posted in my original post modifiable? The B5 D80 side (metric side) needs to be modified to the B5 D71 flange dimensions. @eotrfish posted a measured drawing above that I *think* is right?
