• 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!

20161217_150142.jpg Thought I would share what I have been building in my garage this week. I decided to turn some Christmas presents on the little Syil EX250 CNC lathe.
My wife helped out by running the saw while I was running the machine. That is a fun Christmas memory 20161217_150030.jpg
This is what I made for my sisters

They are simple jewelry boxes with thread on lids.

Here is another present I decided to make rather than buy.

these are angle grinder attachments to mount a buffing wheel onto a standard angle grinder. I don't know if they work but i found this image on the internet so i decided i would try making a few different sizes.Screenshot_2016-12-13-19-37-35.webp
 
IMG_0486.JPG Well I am out of time. I was making some widgets maybe. But there was a Christmas present for me! A new to me knee mill. Dabbler sold me his old one.
 
Great buy John. Thats a good looking machine you have there. My wife was running my hybrid mill this week in MDI (manual data input) and even as a complete noob she found it easy to figure out.
