• 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!

    Sticky What Machines Do You have?

    Wow, I just realized today that I had not shared in this thread like everyone else has, even after years of lurking here, lol. So to be fair, thus far this is what is in my (currently unfinished new) shop, in various states of repair: Functional (once drywall and wiring in): - First LC-1-1/2...

    ER40 D1-4 Collet Chuck Question

    I've seen this adjustable one as well as the HHIP non adjustable ones, but decided not to buy one at this point. I would like to make one for myself as it sounds like an interesting challenge and the fun budget seems to be needed for other equipment first. My hope is that if the chuck is made...

    Nice! For 80 bucks, even if it was toast it would have been money well spent on good fun.

    Tap sockets

Got one that is only 4" long for taps in odd places. Used it a lot for chasing exhaust manifold stud threads in Dodge Hemi heads after...

    Miller Thunderbolt

    We had one similar to that in the school shop where I taught. Very tough machines, they can survive a ton of abuse and mistakes. Believe me, my students were not easy on it. Totally worth keeping that one!

    Lubrication, oils and oil equivalency table

    I agree, @Dabbler - I've emailed a few times with Andrew from Evolvent and he even sent me a used Jacobs chuck as well as the plans and materials for his chuck disassembly tools. Very cool guy. Once my shop is going again that chuck project is on the to do list. It is very handy that he has...

    Surface grinder, height gauge and a few other things.

    Even if it's a tool cutter grinder and not a surface grinder, that was a heck of a haul for a great price!
