• 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 Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

If you don’t receive emails from Lee Valley, they recently produced a series of five short videos (1 to 2 minutes) covering their:
  • Coordinate Measurement Machine.
  • Deburring.
  • Rapid Prototyping.
  • Vibrating Polisher.
  • Cosmetic Seconds.
Link to Videos

I found them interesting, especially their CMM and 3D printers. The Rapid Prototyping video also shows the evolution of one of their planes from concept through to a non-functional prototype.
 
Thanks for posting this Steve.

Someday when I have lots of time on my hands, I might relate the history of rapid prototyping during my career. I have no pictures though.....
 
I've spent a lot of time running a CMM in my career. Still get to occasionally when our regular guy is out sick, or in other special cases.

This was a couple weeks ago running a Gauge R&R while our CMM guy was out sick for a while. My most favourite thing in the world......

Aside from r&r's it's a pretty enjoyable part of the job.
