• 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!

    I'll bet you forgot to take a picture of the finished replacement right?

    UPS gripe

    How about a totally different off the wall idea. Take what the Canada Post workers Union has achieved and then legislate that all delivery people that deliver packages of any sort be given the same benefits and wages. The Amazon delivery groups rely on low wages and initial losses to drive...

    Now you no longer have an excuse to delay setting up a quadrature encoder on your spindle.

    Yeah on mine it's 180 IPM for X and Y and 150 IPM for Z. It really hauls and likely I could change the pulley ratios in 1/2 to get twice that but with ACME screws that would be dumb. As it is in the video you can hear the two bevel gears in the knee rattling a bit in the quick turn around in...

    The G83 drilling instruction does a rapid move to the R0.1 position before it starts the drill operation. As long as you know for sure that Z0.1 is above your work piece you're safe.

    I've been updating the drill circle of holes program. The move to the first hole is done slowly at the MOVE RATE in order to be able to hit the ESTOP in case something is wrong with where it's going or if it will run into something because the clearance plane is too low. Here's a video...

    Needs to be one like this which I bought a long time ago for the mill or the lathe. Don't even remember when...

    New tracking at Amazon

    I've been getting that on and off for some time now. Sometimes it's accurate. Other times it's not.

    Yeah I wish. It was going to be a boat shed to build at 32' Lyle Hess Cutter. But that idea went sideways for a number of reasons. Now we're at a point where it would be cheaper to subdivide the lot into two (or maybe even 3 properties). So at this point anything we do, even if we sold as is...

    The perimeter drain tile is socked. The septic field was now more than 15 years ago. Might even be longer ago. The up side is I can build where the field was. Before that it was wasted space.
