• 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!

    Sourcing Metal | General Discussion

    One place that is kind of obvious, but has worked for me is Kigigi. I have bought rebar, channel, 2x4 solid rectangular bar, sucker rod … Fab shop, Machine shop, and farm auctions are also good sources

    Wanted mini shaper

    Atlas shapers are much better built than their lathes were. Southbend and Boxford also made 7” shapers.

    Tool Stubby Drill Bits

    I have used both inch and metric screw machine drill sets from KBC, they work well. For sizes I use a lot, I buy multiples of higher quality screw machine bits. I have found Walther and Guring (both German made) to last the longest and only drill .002 thou oversized on my machines.

    I think if you re-edit a book or a musical recording you can regain the original rights to the art. That tall blond chick singer that is making billions now had to do it with her first few albums because she lost the rights to them somehow. Probably stopped kneeling at the sales meetings.

    I don’t know what happened to Guy, I think the internet killed his business. I heard he got divorced and his wife got the write’s to his publishing stuff.
