• 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!

    If you are casting bronze did you purchase the castable resin? Regular resin will leave too much of a carbon deposit in the flask after burnout for an acceptable finish. Also… did you make an enclosure for it? The average temp in my basement required me to make an environmentally controlled...

    Vernier Digital callipers?

    Just a followup to this string, I decided NOT to go with the mitutoyo. After reading several reviews and comments and still trying to stay within my price range of $150, I settled on the . . . Brown and Sharpe 950011701 for $153. Man what an improvement from my Princess Auto model. The...
