• 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!

    Morse Taper Arbors - Drawbar to Tang conversion

    These can come with 1/2" straight, MT2 or MT3 shank and there is a channel on both sides of the holder to allow it to float on the shank.. Note that this isn't the cheaper shallow version where the cup-only gets swapped . Plus the barrel is knurled in case you want to grip it manually. Usually...

    Morse Taper Arbors - Drawbar to Tang conversion

    Anyone have a source for these drawbar-to-tang screws? I've seen them listed as Tang Screw-ins or Tang Screws but the price is usually pretty silly ($10+/ea).

    Bridgeport 1J knee mill - anyone looking?

    gonzo as per Mar 12 post. I've still got mine and contemplating if I want to sell it but the 4 axis DRO and VFD w/control console is worth a substantial amount on its own...serious offers only.

    import QCTP BXA holders - wanting to know personal experience

    For giggles, I got a special drill bit from a supplier to demo on that Accusize holder on hold-down hole #4 (left it un-enlarged since the other 3 holes destroyed 2 bits). I know some safe-crackers and they claimed these are the 'the thing' for hard metal/concrete. Company name is RELTON and...
