• 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!

    Cross Slide T-slots Purpose???

    They are often used to hold a tool post with a parting tool that is installed upside down. Instead of digging in that approach pushes the tool away compared to down and into the piece when it's on the front.

    JCDammeyer's 42 projects

    Yahoo! Finally. Third time lucky. My 2mm drill bits that were left out of a previous order finally arrived. A re-order was credited correctly. A second re-order looks like I won't be paid back for the shipping. So strange.

    Possible candidate for 3-phase for my lathe?

    Brent Builds!!

    I like having the SB 5C collet holder. The thread guard screws on. Then the adapter goes into the taper and then the collet. Doesn't stick out nearly as far as the chuck or even the face plate.

    Shoulder check

    I second the narrow B roads in Wales. Very scary. I sort of shoulder check depending on what I'm doing. For the most part my vehicle yells at me if I even think about changing lanes into someone. But there's a catch. I have to signal first. If I start signalling and there is someone who has...
