• 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!

Check out this fractional vice!

Simply an amazing design and build.
I am betting the searches for "fractal vise" will be up thousands of percent in the next few days.

cool video. Two things tho...I'd have been extremely nervous prying those 1/2 ring races out of the vise jaws, it they are hard would be very likely if I were doing it, for them to snap in half.

The other thing, he neglected to show in the vid, those little parts catching in that wire wheel and zinging off into some previously unknown dark hole in the shop.
 
Wow! That thing must have been expensive to purchase! So many parts. All precision made & hardened.

I never seen anything like that! Must be super rare.
 
I know looking at the picture it was a wtf moment then he moved a part and sure enough it was a WTF moment!
 
Looks like Lindsay engraving is resurrecting the design
