• 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!

    I do know. And I believe in them. Here is the straight skinny. All fatal collisions are not really one collision. They are three collisions. The first one happens when your car hits the other car. The metal starts to crumple and deform absorbing energy in so doing. The second one happens when...

    Their skills pale by comparison to the manipulative skills of the media, special interest groups, and government.

    It's a very very rare person who actually is good at assessing risk. Read the book I mentioned earlier in this thread "Risk - The Science and Politics of Fear".

    Tips/Techniques RF-45 clone vs King PDM-30

    I guess, the point I was trying to convey is that I think you will get more benefit from filling the column and base versus making a new base. I'm not saying a new base won't be better, just that a filled column and base might provide significantly more benefit. If you don't want to fill the...

    Tips/Techniques RF-45 clone vs King PDM-30

    @CWret - I also researched academic papers on the subject and found a study that evaluated rigidity improvements with Epoxy Granite (EG) Fills. The results of this study were staggering. A quick read of the results demonstrates why rigidity is more important than strength. I cannot attach the...

    Tips/Techniques RF-45 clone vs King PDM-30

    @CWret - I'd be cautious about what you found on the internet. I was curious about your choice of search terms (build a base vs fill a base) so I did the same search just for shits and giggles. I was surprised to discover that the majority called the effort an improvement in strength and/or...

    For our forum purposes, policy is all the discussion, judgement, opinion, taken by people, government, and organizations to help inform the development of government regulations or political direction. So even if you remove any legal aspects, moral questions (valid or not) are policy.

    Really ?

    Morality as you have used it is basically still policy when it is used in a societal context. But I don't see the point in discussing helmuts on motorcycles anyway. All of Canada's provinces and territories require helmuts on motorcycles. It's the law, it's not a personal choice issue. So there...

    Really ?

    Yes, some jurisdictions have bicycle helmut laws. That's the one I was addressing. I agree, that's why I welcome a phone call discussion. Unfortunately, our experience here on our forum says that isn't possible. As soon as we allow the policy debate on the forum, some members inevitably...
