• 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!

    Garage sale find and miss

    I guess I don't get the idea of drilling divots into a vise. I always use backing of some kind. It's just a vise, it's going to take abuse, but that seems like needless abuse. Kind of like people who move shopping carts out of the way in parking lots with their car. It's going to get dings...

    Air compressor not restarting

    Like everyone else who is following along I am interested in the outcome of what will ultimately solve the problem. Just for clarity, as I don't believe it has been mentioned, the centrifugal switch should open within 2-3 seconds of start-up and remove the Start capacitor from the circuit...

    Air compressor not restarting

    Unless I am missing something... If you have to press hard on the button then you are forcing the bimatellic strip to make contact. That means it got hot enough to bend and needs to cool to relax into position for a normal manual reset. But, if you can't observe ANYTHING at the compressor or...

    Air compressor not restarting

    Trying to make sure I understand: - first cycle air compressor runs as it should, reaches pressure setting, shuts off - second cycle, no symptoms of a struggling motor/pump, no heat at motor, but fails to start - at this point thermal overload is found in tripped position Curious, if you were...
