• 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!

    Yeah, not to put too fine a point upon it, but if the current state of line maintenance by the rail operators, carries on much longer, the only hope for affordable rail transit, is gonna be to build entirely from scratch. Given the headaches with getting a simple building permit for residential...

    Tool Solid Rivets

    I have a single Drawer in a parts cabinet with a mess of assorted rivets. I figure it amounts to about every second year I actually look there for a solution. Projects that need a bunch of rivets tend to be worth buying the right size for, and if you only need one, you can form a head on both...

    I already GOTS one, but it is a little different than this one. I can see uses for the smaller form factor! If @Dabbler does not make a deal, I might! :P

    Atlas tool post grinder

    Anyone with enough imagination, to see a use for a a TPG in the first place, should have no trouble at all making an adapter plate either to mount this direct on a compound slide, or one that would be held in any of many types of tool post holders. Do the Trig yerselves, but IIRC, if you set...

    Tool Solid Rivets

    A lack of imagination, is all it takes to make them useless! Seriously, Sheet Metalwork, where they originated, is amazing. But car bodywork, and things as inane as drywall (gonna rile up the drywallers! LOL!) can see an advantageous use of these. Anywhere you want pices of about anything, to...

    Color. Look in the post in this thread that tells you, above, @phaxtris, post #17, or look in the Tools catalog I linked above in post #28. Spring Clamps? We Called those Side Grip Clamps, if they are what I think you are describing. Same pliers, but like a heavy duty, much smaller C-Clamp or...
