• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    Practical VFD use for VFD newbies

    I mounted the VFD for my 2X72 grinder in an ammo box right on the grinder. 2 years and still no issues with vibration or dust. If your drill press vibrates enough to affect it you might have bigger problems.

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    I've decided that David isn't a human at all. Just an advanced AI version of what a really annoyingly ambitious forum member would be like if they were constantly trying to outdo all the other members while still being immensely likeable and a supremely capable moderator.

    A weekly staple here is fish and fry fry. Horseradish Dijon mixed with Worcestershire sauce on a salmon fillet sprinkled with cracked Italian pepper in a air fryer for 20 minutes at 375 in one bin and frozen fries in the other half for 20 minutes at 390. The salmon almost tastes smoked.

    What is more valuable?

    I don't do thoughts and prayers but I hope you get the best possible results from the best available science and medicine.

    Ahh yes, the benefits of a chaotic workflow. I can spend 6 hours in the shop, not really accomplish much of anything, yet somehow come out with 14000 steps on phone app. And it's still a mess as well.

    Physical activities…..

    I have a diet I follow occasionally called the ELDA diet. EAT LESS DUMB ASS. Works but is hard to stick to. When my Covid was quickly followed by shingles my appetite was gone for about 2 weeks. I lost 12 lbs in 14 days. Probably not the recommended way to go.

    Terrible QC - Toilet Edition

    Was Crane the company that had the massive recall or class action lawsuit in the 80s? I remember lots of exploding tanks and resultant lawsuits.
