• 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!

    Atlas Craftsman 10" 12" Metal Lathe Countershaft Counter Shaft Assembly

    Looks like this guy has one. He has a ton of other random lathe parts too. I'd guess he parts out machines. Might be worth sending him a message to see what he has. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/norfolk-county/atlas-craftsman-metal-lathe-parts/1663281269

    Jacobs Super Chuck or clone?

    I watched this video a while back. Kinda feels like a Project Farm knock off, but was still good. He compares a bunch of different drill chucks. Iirc he was a big fan of the one from HH Industrial Products (HHIP).

    Pennsylvania A3 Switcher Errata

    A bunch of the Yahoo groups seem to have been transferred to groups.io (I had never heard of Yahoo Groups until well after it was defunct, so somebody please correct me if I have that wrong). I see that there is a "Builders of Kozo's Engines" group on there. Could that be the successor to the...

    Hello!

    Welcome to the forum from Ottawa! Well okay, close to Ottawa. I've enjoyed your channel for a couple years now. I've picked up lots of tips from your videos, including most of my machining basics. As for falutin' whiskey, my unsolicited recommendations are "Artist in Residence" for a...

    OTTAWA Area - Flat Taper in Mild Steel Plate

    Is there a reason that you can't laser cut it after milling the taper? Seems to me like you've got a whole lot of not particularly well supported details on that part after it's lasered out. If you can laser cut it after tapering it might make the milling setup a lot easier.

    Real estate listings suck

    You're right on the money. I was born in 1999 and I am one of two people I know my age who owns a place. I was able to buy my place by being cheap my whole life, having part time jobs from grade 9 until graduating university, staying at my parents place during uni, getting a good job right out...

    Real estate listings suck

    I bought my first house just outside of Arnprior (West of Ottawa) on a half acre lot about 3 years ago. The realtor I used was a guy named Matt Robinson and was very happy with him. He was patient, gave his opinion when asked, but otherwise let me look without being pushy, gave recommendations...

    Another dumb question

    I bought a Bostar AxA Aloris Style quick change Tool post for my Atlas and have been very happy with it. I'm not sure that it was exactly this pack, but it was a very similar one. They sell them with different combinations of tool holders, so you can choose whatever suits you best. One thing...

    Atlas 10-F on/off switch

    You can also contact Clausing and get one through them, although you're probably better off buying an off the shelf one. They're a generic switch and are more expensive through Clausing. You can also get the On/Off sheet metal plate that the switch mounts into from them.

    Noob needs help with custom HSS tool.

    Diamond would definitely work. I don't know about CBN though. I think don't think that my wheel is either of those. I think it's green Silicon Carbide wheel? I'll have to check when I get home to be sure. I was using it to grind the end radius on scraping tools. Final sharpening was with a...
