• 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!

    This is a Precision Machine

    Well big thanks to SkippyWell for his patience while I arranged LTL lift-gate shipping. Great packing job and it appears to have made the trip unscathed, good on minimax transport. IIRC it was Dabbler that stated the trick to moving something heavy is a custom dolly appropriate for the job, so...

    I think some of that Saskatchewan ingenuity was alive and well in Manitoba in the 70's. We had a tight group of friends we were more into athletics and none of us were into smoking/drinking/drugs more into pranks and mischief anything that would get us to laugh or chased because no one could...

    SM 10" Utilathe tweaks

    If I love the SM, I will sell the CX706 (after the SM is tweaked). If that's the case, need to decide if I transfer the servos and electronics to the SM and put the CX back to the way it was when I purchased it. I have all the original stuff so pretty easy to revert back, or do a partial...

    SM 10" Utilathe tweaks

    I'm really getting ahead of myself, my lathe is to arrive tomorrow but I like to ponder and would like to hear thoughts on my pondering. Obviously I will run it as it is for a while to evaluate. I enjoy tweaking my machines to improve them. DRO and 3-P motor with VFD almost for sure. Now the...

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    The ESP pinout is identical for E117-00, and E117-01 Only 10 I/O pins are actually used (unless you're using iGaging scales) E117-01 changes: + Option for differential inputs (also supports single ended) + Uses an appropriate input buffer instead of the kludgy part specified on TDRO website +...

    Hello!

    Welcome again from our nation's capital. I like the style of your videos, packed with details and yet so down to earth.

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    To be clear I have not recommended any particular board. Tom sent me an ESP board so I could test the two boards I soldered for him, so I know for certain that board works (no idea where he sourced it), I then ordered an ESP board from Amazon that had the same pinout, however when it arrived the...
