• 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!

    Pictionary has always been good for a laugh, too. Nice thing about it is there really is no minimum number of players or level of skill other than reading the card and holding a marker. No need to be a trivia nerd or remember all the rules about how many dice to throw when you are attacked by...

    2x72 grinder discussion

    When I built mine I messed up and bought a 1.5hp 3 phase 1750 rpm instead of 3450 rpm. Running it at 90 hz mostly solved the belt speed issue, but I do like the variable speed given that I use it for metal, wood and plastic. Unless you are making knives or running a fab shop I think you wouldn't...

    You really need the right crowd for Cards Against Humanity. Not for the faint of heart. Or the Church choir group. Or sober people. Or decent people. Maybe stick with Yahtzee.

    larger print example ER collet rack

    If the standard infill is 15% and working well for you I'd stick with it. Changing it 10% or so won't save much time or filament even on a 7 hour print.

    Tool Laser Level options? what do I need? what do I want? what to look for?

    I have a Dewalt with horizontal and vertical beams, very useful but the green beam is absolutely useless outside in the daylight any more than 10 or 15 feet away. I'm not sure if the red is better but it can't be worse. If I was buying again I'd get one with the audible receiver. I was using it...
