• 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!

    Mystery lathe, for real

    Every now and then there's a story about someone who bought the contents of a storage locker sight unseen, and struck it rich. So, maybe?

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Great suggestions @Arbutus But... 10 boards, 10 different people, does that mean 10 stencils, or pass one around? There may be 4 or 5 here on the Island that could share? If I get back into making electronics then a re-flow oven would definitely be a thing, but this may be a one-off for me, so...

    Mystery lathe, for real

    I'm sure some of the experts here could identify it by the piece of the stand that's poking out from under the plastic.

    another mill: vise 4" $60

    I fat fingered this post. It was supposed to include the link, the photo. and that the seller has another vise also. I've already got more vices and vises than I need.

    What's Paul up to?

    Aha! so that's the saw we've been talking about! I see another (1910 vintage) about that size on marketplace in Princeton BC). There was one in Uclulet for a long time but I don't see it listed now. That wouldn't be the one you have?

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Thing 1: Not a lawyer, but my reading of his license is that as long as you are not reselling or using commercially, there is no problem.

    WTB: 5HP 3PH motor 600-1200 RPM

    @PaulL You're in luck? TEFC, shaft appears to be 1-1/8" diameter, 1/4 in keyway, about 2-1/2" long. I have not tested this - I don't have a VFD or any other way to do that. When I got it long ago was told it worked. If you or someone else nearby can confirm that it will work for you, I don't...

    WTB: 5HP 3PH motor 600-1200 RPM

    I missed this post when it first came up. I may actually have one of these. I don't anticipate a use for it, although I could use a smaller one. . Let me check the specs and get back to you.
