• 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 think they were selling the commonly available config. and changed at some point, maybe they got a better deal from their supplier? If they’ve changed back because of customer feedback (ref. what looks like pockets in @kstrauss ’s photo) then that might be an explanation rather than trying to...

    The problem is that not all “APKT11T3” inserts are the same. The commonly available inserts you refer to would not fit on the Accusize tool. The photos showed (still show) the commonly available inserts BUT the inserts that came with it were not the same as in the photo, that’s why it went...

    Just noticed this thread. I bought one of these and sent it back because the Accusize APKT inserts only fit Accusize tools. I already had the “same” tool from Shars and thought the Accusize and Shars (and typical far east) APKT inserts would interchange - no dice so I sent it back. Accusize...

    South Bend 10K Horizontal Drive Bushings Replacement

    Oh, wow! Nope, nothing like that just a couple of left front wheel bearings from the other half’s Audi. Last going off it was front end bushings, nothing worth saving. Come to think of it, most of my “special service tools” are from fixing that thing….. D :cool:

    South Bend 10K Horizontal Drive Bushings Replacement

    What a coincidence! Right now I’m putting aside making a tool to use on a tool in order to design another tool to work on a tool! Does that make me a tool too? :rolleyes: The sage one has inquired in the past whether I use my tools to make things other than tools…..but this time last week...

    CA-AB It pays to shop around.

    For some things I’ve found them expensive but they’re my go to for fasteners that aren’t hardware store off the shelf and a few other odd tools or supplies like ear plugs. For fasteners they usually beat McMaster for less common things and we won’t talk about other fastener suppliers. Easy to...
