• 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.

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!

    Tapping Chuck Head 33JT NEW $50

    Im a newbie, so I will leave that to the more experienced members to answer. But I'm guessing that three jaws 120 degrees apart in a drill chuck does not hold a square tap end well enough against torques needed to.cut threads?

    Tapping Chuck Head 33JT NEW $50

    It is kind of like a drill chuck, except instead of holding drill bits, it holds taps. Use appropriate arbor and drawbar to mount onto a milling machine. Line up with hole ro be tapped. Calculate appropriate rpm. Turn on, feed, and stop mill. Reverse direction to extracf tap. Viola, a tapped hole!

    Buying tools off shore

    I'm still a big fan of the Viel S-5 sander. Price has gone up though (what hasn't? Oh yeah, my income). From Lee Valley or from Viel direct. 1" x 42" belts, high resale value. Use an old furnace motor or do what I did, a VFD motor (so I don't burn blade tips when profiling knife edges).
