• 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!

    expired propane bottle ?

    Craig had already cut one in half, I got the top half he didn't use. I've done it before though - un-screwed the valve on top (empty it first), washed / rinsed it out with soapy water then cut with angle grinder / zip disc.

    Maybe a bit OT; Anyone in Calgary got an expired propane bottle (20 or 25 lb whatever they are) they want to get rid of ? Not for propane use, I'm wanting to cut one in half to make a lead smelting pot. TIA Howard

    Millennium alloys ?

    I've bought from them a few times in the past - but that was when I was living not too far from Kelowna. Now, its been a few years. No complaints though when I did buy from them.

    Checking out the Happy Vise

    My Son worked several years as a Machinist for a large oil Industry player. He took me on a few tours through one of their biggest shops.

    Triple spider idea to remove runout?

    I don't use a triple spider. I do have a spider in the outboard end of my spindle bore - 4 X 1/4 - 20 SHCScrews w/ brass tips. On the chuck end I use a 4 jaw with a piece of 1/4" soft copper bent around the work piece, resulting in very narrow contact at the chuck end as well. If you "sneak up"...

    Triple Spider Idea used to align barrels for chamber reaming

    Personally, I'd like to see a Gunsmithing section here, maybe with the caveat of "keep it within bounds of what's legal and no squabbling over politics". I've known several very fine people that were both first rate machinists and very skilled gunsmiths.
