• 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!

    Hitch extension

    The back hatch on my Yukon will hit the power jack on my travel trailer if they are not both perfectly level. I turned the power jack head 120 degrees which helped some and then shaved the corner of the head cover a bit which also helped but it still is too close for comfort. I went to Princess...

    Hardening brass

    I am trying to use a small piece of brass 30.06 casing to fix an indexing post on an air rifle. Initially I cut a piece to fit but then it snapped when I was trying to bend it into the correct shape. A quick readup on annealing and now the replacement piece is soft and perfectly formable. The...

    Lathe DRO

    I turn poorly and infrequently. Those things may be related. I am looking for recommendations for a lathe dro suitable for a Luxcut 1136 lathe. Reading dials has been a struggle because either I can't see it or, more frequently, I forget where I started and where I am supposed to finish and how...

    UHMW

    I potentially need to turn and/or machine some UHMW plastic bar for a friend's slushy machine tomorrow. Other than sharp tools and keeping everything cool, any tips to make this less of a gong show than I expect?

    Have I been profiled?

    Ordered and received a Makita track saw from Busy Bee a couple of weeks ago. Got around to opening it today. Everything looked good and then I found this. I am both amused and offended but thankfully not in need, just yet. I'm also not blanking anything out so that any of you who need to use it...

    New to me scam.

    Selling a van on Kijiji rather than Marketplace to support Canadian and avoid the FB Marketplace BS. Within 5 seconds of the ad going live get a text from Seattle. A minute later from Quebec and then one from Toronto. All eventually directing me to a scam carfax type website for a vehicle...

    Timer

    I need recommendations for a timer to run a wet/dry vac. I have a drip mat under my wife's Yukon but it fills up quickly some days and spills over onto the floor with all the expected mess. I'm thinking a wet/dry vac on a timer would help. Set it up so that the suction house was on the mat and...
