• 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.

  • 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!

Mount your boring head and move the table away from zeroed edge by the desired radius and adjust the boring head to just touch off on the zeroed edge. For a less precise...

    Slab dining table legs

    That's how aircraft licensing works. A student pilots permit does not allow for passengers except a flight test examiner. Therefore, you have to be a good aim if you want to kill anyone other than oneself and as such they give SPP's away to almost anyone 14 or older. With a bit more training...

    Shoulder check

    Well I was going to keep my mouth shut on this one but ..... Seems like dump truck drivers are to blame. Ride a day in one and you'll change your mind. As someone who has been too close and personal to distracted driving results I think there should be a hefty bounty reward for anyone who...

    Shop Table top crane

    Best idea I saw was to make an off balance lifting attachment with an extension bar that is on the light side and thus points up slightly rather than having the accessory hanging level. You use the bar to keep the accessory level as you lower it, an inch or so up you stop, and then ease it down...

    Meh, sorry but to me it isn't a sports car if it has 4 doors or no clutch (real clutch).
