• 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!

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    That's kind of what I thought. Kind of analogous to MS-365. I need Excel, Word.. the office package. If they want to through in a TB of storage that's cool. (Although I detest the constant backup nagging).

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    @Susquatch Good catch. I screen grabbed the wrong one. SSD should not be used for long term storage & if you inadvertently delete files, they don't recover like mag drives. Meant to screen grab something like this. There are better systems, I'm just poking around the portable styles.

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    Hopefully there are other perks in the plan because on a storage basis, that is pricey. 1 year of fees = 26 * 12 / 200 GB = 0.72 $/GB vs any random portable external HD example: 162 $ / (5 TB * 1000 GB/TB) = 0.034 $/GB. The cloud option is 22X more expensive than the HD & you need to keep...

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    That's what I do. I leave Contacts & Notes & lightweight stuff as automatically synch/backup to iCloud. But for photos every so often at 'backup time' when I'm on the PC/WiFi I temporarily turn on synch for photos, download them from iCloud to my PC, basically remove anything from phone I no...

    2 flute or 4 flute

    This is what I was trying to remember - Spade Drill (aka Violence Drill lol). Expensive in N-Am but not too bad on Ali. I thought they were longer depth but I also didn't search too hard. This 22mm dia is 66mm DOC. Might be able to forego the Weldon style holder with R8 collet. Some stores offer...

    Apron repair

    Yea, an oil bath is a much better system which is why I gave it a try. I attached a bottom plate just bonded on with gasket seal. That part sealed well. I ran a low oil level so the lowest gear was more or less slinging rather trying to semi-submerge more of the train. I think its my so-so fits...

    Apron repair

    Looks great. I must have misunderstood your oiler layout. Maybe you only have 1 oiler feeding the entire channel which is why the channel has to be cut around the backside by the repair patch? I thought maybe you had 2 oilers, one for each front & rear groove channel. PS - don't get a bright...
