    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Ah, yes, looking more carefully at the schematic I see ESP32-DEV down at the bottom of that block. I'll keep an eye on this for if/when djberta has success and extras. Thanks!

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    So if I'm reading things right, @djberta did get a couple of boards from Tom, but now wants 2 more. Also, at one point he was going to order some unrelated boards and talked about including these, but that ship seems to have sailed? David got a unit from Paul so he's off the original list. I...

    Yup. That's a updated and newer version of the mill I have, and I paid twice that with no power feed.

    Kumer lathe, $1500, Canning, NS

    I lived in Canning in the early '80's and had a 9" Southbend at the time. I'm sure it's grown since then, but at the time it wasn't really a big enough town for there to be two lathes!

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Does the new board have SMDs of a size that would be, um, "challenging" to hand solder, or did the latest design bump up the size of those? Or ...perhaps they will look into having it populated with the SMDs, but not the large connectors?

    CA-BC Metric roll pins?

    Thanks all. I have ordered some. I don't expect these are something I need to keep "in stock" so I should be fine for years to come, fingers crossed. I have had pretty good luck with finding metric nuts and bolts locally* so I hoped other metric stuff like this might also be. Naive of me I...

    CA-BC Metric roll pins?

    Been there, done that. Grainger does not have 5mm as long as I need, only 6mm. Speanauer search for roll pin, spring pin, slotted pin, slotted spring tension pin all come up "no results". And in any case if they had them I'd have to order and wait. I guess we're not quite as bi-lingual a...

    CA-BC Metric roll pins?

    5mm is a bout 9 thou over 3/16th. In theory one could enlarge the slot of a 3/16 pin and squeeeeze it down just the right amount, but I'd rather get the proper part if it's reasonably doable. If I had to get the machine running before my shift was over, yeah, I'd try that.

    CA-BC Metric roll pins?

    Bit of import Lathe repair happening. I'm looking for 5x30 and 5x50mm roll pins. Fastener Force in Victoria? Nope. Fastenal? Have to order them in, box of 100. McMaster-Carr? !00's, not to mention cross border. Home hardware, Home Depot, local auto parts place? Nope. Spaenaur? Don't even show up...
