• 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!

    Ideas on a 3/8" hex holder to fit a Mill

    I was concerned about spin/shearing using a plastic-based sleeve. It's for infrequent use so I don't need to go to the effort of broaching a steel collar or spending $$ on this. I'll skip trying to grab on the hex section of the shaft and slide further down to the round and see if I can get...

    Shipping from US

    They seem to want to pander to those with volume and that just isn't me....but paying someone $150USD+ to ship a 6" chuck up here is plain robbery (considering they charge US customers $25...or nothing). I think there is another answer out there so I'm hanging tight to watch it surface....

    Shipping from US

    Called Border Bee and they're not interested in this type of business. Their focal is brokering and not transportation. If I recall, there is a company in/near Calgary who specifically does both the brokering AND transportation...and does it routinely from Sweetgrass....anyone?

    Shipping from US

    I know members have talked about this somewhat locally (Calgary) but a search of the forums came up empty so I wanted to get information collected on shipping products from the US. I already have a few US drop boxes and that helps me avoid costly shipping to Canada (sometimes...its even free)...

    Ideas on a 3/8" hex holder to fit a Mill

    Indeed there is a gap between what 'could be' and 'what is' which is why I started the thread initially; I found nearly nothing except the $50~100 R8 collets. For you 3DP guys to ponder...could a plastic collet be designed hex inside/round outside w/3 slits and hold that in an ER-32 collet with...

    Ideas on a 3/8" hex holder to fit a Mill

    Indeed I've got an R8/MT3 converter but I've seen MT3 collets only in round; got a link for hex?
