• 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!

    Smallest part to date.

    Those are not really that detailed - only half a Meg. I've seen successful images at 5M. But your point is taken. Someday we will get to the bottom of this. I hope I live that long. (Sorry for the sarcasm - it's depressing).

    Youtube- The curious origins of (the words for) imperial and metric units

    For the benefit of others reading this, tall guys often don't like heights. It's along ways down and we get hurt when we fall. I don't like heights. I hate that Niagara skyway. Waaaay too high for me. That's why CWret showed me some options. I was, and still am, most grateful! For the record...

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    2007 Ram 2500 Megacab with the big Cummins engine. Still going strong. Lost the left side wheel bearings on the highway 3 years ago, the A/C quit 2 years ago, and the left upper control arm rusted through this spring. Thanks to @grease monkey for spotting it at our spring meetup. I'd have prolly...

    I don't believe it. Let's ask @CWret.

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    I managed to fold and injure my joints enough to get into a mini once. I'll never do it again. I'd rather walk. My wife could have sex in there but not with me.

    I'll have to see if I can find it. I love good books. Anyone who knows enough about a subject to write a book about it, is probably worth reading.

    What Are These?

    I am short on time for the next week, but I've decided to try and post about how that piece of kit is used to test bedding as soon as I can - hopefully later today. Edit - Done yesterday.

    What Are These?

    It isn't the way I would do it. But I'm sure it would work just fine. If asked how, I'd run the button on the bed with the dial facing up. But I think other methods are easier. I love this indicator for checking the bedding of an internal spiral tube. I'll show you how I do that next time you...

    Tips/Techniques Used machinery

    It isn't that I disagree with other opinions that recommend selling separately. It's just that you being in NB suggests to me it won't work that way. People buying that lathe won't have the tooling for it. People upgrading from a small lathe won't be able to use their old tooling. So...
