Anyone have a suggestion of where to find smallish quantities of sheet copper and large-ish copper tubes? I want some rather large, uncommon stuff for model steam boiler purposes (just a stationary desktop one, not for a specific locomotive) . Needs to be type M or heavier ( L or K type) and...

OK, wrong group to ask to talk me out of it but I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Bambu Labs P1S w/AMS combo (seems to be permanently "on sale" for $999 + $65 shipping + tax). I'll use it for fixtures, gridfinity storage, other shop stuff and hopefully some model locomotive stuff (Gauge...

So I've now confirmed I am not an electronics genius and I need some help. Situation- the Tormach has a single input for probes (toolsetters and touch probe), can be set active or passive in the PathPilot setting page. I have a tool setter that is "passive" (just a switch) and its configuration...

So my B&S Challenger surface grinder has a dust collector hiding in the base cabinet. I've had the machine now October 2018 and haven't had a good dust collection system. I usually just wedge the shop vac in the back dust catcher and carry on. I do notice the film of dust that accumulates...

Looking for recommendations. Any recommendations or strong opinions on ones to get / stay away from? I need it for imperial dies mostly, but trying to build steam locomotives that were started by others I'm using some British stuff (BA) and also metric (need to check what diameters they are)...

Used my new to me cnc mill today on its longest and most nerve wracking project to date. I made a fixture plate with reamed holes and threaded holes in an offset pattern. 65 holes total, 33 tapped and 32 reamed. 3/4" spacing cause that looked nice and I'm planning on using this on small...

I want to mill some pretty small sheet metal parts ( 1.25" long , up to 3/8" wide and from 0.032" sheet stainless (unknown pedigree). I tried the painters tape with super glue between them, but it started to let go cause of coolant. I saw a video by Datron, they used vacuum but said won't work...

I'm tired of my shop vac hose collapsing every time I use it. Is there a recommendation for a hose that doesn't degrade when it sees oil from my lathe or mill? I'm using the 2-1/2" hoses now as I used to have a vac with the 1-7/8" and that would just end up clogged all the time. Now I don't...

Kalamazoo H9AW Horizontal Bandsaw 9" vertical x 16" wide cutting capacity. Its about 700lbs (318Kg). Has original parts manual and catalog. Comes with 6 blades. 115V single phase with coolant pump. $1000 - located in Ottawa. .

In the followed me home category. The mill somehow has managed to disassemble itself, crawl downstairs to my basement, and reassemble itself (mostly) in the corner all the while displacing the ZAY12X that was there up into the garage. This mill has most of the bells and whistles that Tormach...
