• 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!

    SOLD Pantograph ‘type’, free, Toronto, ON

    Helping out a friend with some framing last weekend, and found this spilled on the floor under the basement stairs. There’s one tray, but two lids, so possibly a mixed set, and I would not count on it being complete. Tray tops are marked ‘new hermes NEW YORK’, bottom is marked ‘35-336 (OLD NO...

    Anyone fabricate Excello 602 riser?

    I would be cautious about trying to slap some First mill components onto non-metric country of origin mills.

    What to preserve during equipment refurb and how?

    I talked to a laser rep (cleaning as well as welding) at Fabtech last month, and he insisted that, at least with their product, you could dial in the effect it had. I showed him some photos of outdoor lights from the Centre Block of Parliament that I'm dealing with, where there are steel, brass...

    Best outdoor paint for steel?

    My experience has been that powder coat is excellent, but it’s extremely hard to get the product installed without some little chip or crack somewhere. Overtightened bolt, bumped corner, etc. We’ve taken to electroplating before powdercoat (at least a copper flash), at work, to try to maintain...
