• 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!

    Lost-wax casting for jewelry help.

    Welcome Crystal! I’m sure there will be someone who has gone down this road. I dabbled with lost PLA casting but put it on hold pending building/buying a vacuum table. The investment ($$$) isn’t crazy and they make small units for that exact purpose

    Lathe Cross-Slide Lock

    Thank you… that cleared it up. A little more intrusive to the slides but it would hold well

    Lathe Cross-Slide Lock

    I still can’t quite picture what @RobinHood is laying down, unclear how the pad fits in the cross slide. But pictures will speak volumes!

    Shop heat

    I’m running 4 wood pellet stoves now to offset the electric heat (no natural gas here). Two in the house and one in the metal shop and one in the new wood shop extension -30 with high winds today……. Shops are 15C all the time.

    Tig settings

    I had better results ditching the pedal and practicing with the button on the torch. (Once for on, again for off). I found my pedal all over the map in terms of position and power.

    Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas all! @Dusty wasn’t kidding, there was absolutely no snow from Moose Jaw to Gleichen (30 east of Calgary). Great highway conditions but kind of depressing
