• 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 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!

Hey @thestelster! I was tidying up a bit and spotted this!

I knew I'd seen something like your screw Knob before! This one is a bit different from yours and might be easier to make because the chamfer doesn't need to meet any other machining edges.

Ya, I know this one has some machining marks on it. It came that way.....

By the way, this particular adjustment screw is really cool in some not so obvious ways.

It's the rear height adjustment on my competition shooting rest.

If you look closely, you might notice that is has a double lead thread on it. This provides a much faster movement for large adjustments.

What you can't see is a second thread internal to the screw with a very fine single lead thread. The combination provides both course and fine height adjustments at the range. It is a really cool idea.

Very cool. I made a 4-start thread, internal and external, for a project long time ago. It took me a lot of scrounging to find how to do it. But once I did it was a piece of cake.
