• 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!

    Shop Shop Lights - Excessive Edition

    Don't judge me lol I came across a bunch of used ETC Source 4 Par's for $15/each, these used to be $400ish stage lights. I picked up 10 of them and hung 8 in the garage, wired in four new circuits for them as they're a bit power hungry. Ironically, it cost me more to rig/wire them than the...

    M20x2.5 Tap

    Any recommendations on taps this size? Drill America on Amazon has a 3 piece set with the different tapers for just under $100....but anything else out there at a reasonable price? It's the standard speaker pole thread size, just need to do a couple holes to make some adapters.
