• 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!

    I you still have them until Mid-March, I may be able to use them on my HYPER-FIT porta band. I am currently in NZ and the Kiwi’s are telling us to stay (while the USA realizes their mistake). If you find a buyer don’t wait for me.

    Yes, I ended up getting ‘Pulse Width Modulators’ as well. I like the fact that there is less wasted energy to heat. But I may be talking out of terms, I am a mechanical technologist. My son (Electrical Controls Specialist) would be able to translate.

    I saw these items from Amazon on that you had. They look very much like some potentiometers I bought to control the speed of some mini DC motors that I had put into an actuator setup.

    I think you have more stock than your local mini-motor control warehouse. Be ever so careful with those POT assemblies. I bought a few last year and the soldering points crack easily. The AliExpress supplier did replace a few of them for me, when I complained.

    CA-BC Western Supply for drill bits - Victoria

    Sorry . . . that would also require a 15 hour flight . . . from Vancouver anyway. Everybody is very sympathetic towards Canadians because of Trumps Tariff ‘threats’. Many KIWIs have told us to stay here !!

    Tool David's 2x48 grinder build

    Now you have to add the grit collection so that your grinder looks ‘shiny & new’ forever. Nice work David

    Keep your eye out for Dormer sales in 2025. A friend of mine was a Sales Rep for them and I think you can get them thru a reseller that ‘we at Whitelaw’ now deal with in Mississauga. BTW We are currently about 100 kms North of Auckland, NZ. WIFI is strong and weather is great (26 deg.C, Sunshine)
