    I'm Back! now with a Printer :)

    Sold my lathe and mill a few years ago, something about Covid, and EI being broken .... But recently picked up a Ender3v2 and have been having fun with that so far!

    Sherline lathe/mill and tooling

    Well, this year has been quite the understatement! Made me realize a bunch of things, one I really enjoy this hobby, and two, when I have time for it, I can’t afford it, and I have too many hobbies already. I’ll update this post or thread next week with more details, but here is the general...

    **URGENT** 7" turning for tonight (July 24) Calgary

    Hi all, It's probably too late, but who knows! Have a slight hiccup today with 2 parts. I need to bore an end of some PVC pipe from 6.063 to 6.150" on some 6.625" stock for tomorrow morning. Just a small 3/4" edge that needs boring out (pointed at via the probe tip) Could anyone help me...

    DRO for dummies (aka .... me)

    I didn't want to derail the https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/need-a-dro-what-one-to-get.2193/ thread... But (for now).... Can a "big boy" DRO display take input from say digital callipers directly (matching up the data pins) or other magnetic strip reader? Or, can the above work...

    HSS Inserts?

    Saw a video on the YouTubes that was using HSS inserts (opposed to Carbide inserts). These might be handy for me with my tiny machine ... I've been able to use carbide but not to all of its advantages, but the HSS might be a better option. In my quick google searches, I'm just ending up with...

    The swarf shop

    Well, I thought I'd log my progress in making impressive swarf piles here! Lucky you! I don't have much of equipment, a dull hacksaw, and a Sherline 4400 lathe for making circularish objects, and a milling column, so then I can change into making straightish objects that remain after I make my...

    Collet sets...(ER)

    I currently have a sherline setup (3/4 thread and #1 MT in the spindle), and am looking at strategies on ER collets. The mill is pretty easy... 3/8” primarily would be used for endmills, but on the lathe, many sizes would be used. Now, thinking about making this slightly ‘futureproof’... would...
