• 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!

    Rain in Edmonton

    LOL! Thousands of Farmers Praying for rain. Guy in the sky says to himself, "This is too easy!" It don't rain, but when it does, it pours! Spent 11 hours on a tractor making hay happen today... Weather forecast got changed to rain in the future, while I was mowing this lot... I think I want...

    Rain in Edmonton

    Having lived there, I found the weather to not be near as localized as it was in Moose Jaw. Rain or hail in Moose Jaw depended on what side of the street you were on, while a storm in the Edmonton area tended to be a horizon to horizon event. I was returning FROM Edmonton, to the Jaw...

    My weekend score

    IIRC, Kuroda was the Japanese firm that was making licensed copies of the Wohlhaupter boring heads. Very Nice! Top quality (and stupidly priced accordingly, when sold by folks that know what they have, to folks that know what they are getting!). Given the markings, and the oddball drawbar size...

    Seen THAT show many many times, between the number of Airshows I was Voluntold to work at, a few I was at voluntarily, as well as the Display Pilot practicing his chops out in the infield at Cold Lake.

    That's kinda neat! Wouldn'a considered replacement vocal chords a thing, really. Learn new things, see new opportunities, eh? Got some hardware in my lower back, from a fusion done back in 2008, had two surgeries on my right Knee to pull out floaters and flapping bits of cartilage, and (thanks...

    Tips/Techniques Making the Square Drive hole in a custom socket.

    I have made several custom sockets, some even for my own use... My usual strategy is to drill the corners, right on the intersection of the Hex or 12 points, with a drill that will allow a decent sized end mill to be able to leave straight sides without having to muck about with extra end mills...

    Amen! The world was diminished when a friend of mine died a few years ago. First diagnosis put him at Stage Four, Cancer. Early detection, and rapid intervention when it is truly warranted, is a lifesaver.
