• 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!

Hello from Newfoundland!

Hi all; I'm a new-ish hobbyist, still very much getting my feet under me. I'm originally from Edmonton but have settled in small-town Newfoundland after some detours (Toronto and Virginia). During the move out here, I had to leave behind pretty much everything, so I'm starting from scratch in terms of tools and equipment.

I'm currently working on a de-metric-ified CAD model of the Bonelle tool and cutter grinder; building the thing itself is well beyond my current capacity but it's teaching me Fusion 360 pretty well. I plan on posting it (and some questions I can't figure out) once I finish checking it over. Otherwise, I'm curious about what other people are working on and looking forward to starting my own projects.
 
(it's not that I mind a metric grinder, but finding BA sized taps is a nightmare so I thought I'd switch all the threads to sizes I can get easily)

Cool. Where did you locate plans? I can't recall if this was one of the build threads I followed. It's been a while since I had lofty ideas. He did some mods right from the get-go. There are some nice examples out there. Almost a cult (but not like Quorn's, now THATS a cult haha).
