• 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!

Here goes nothing...YouTube Channel

So, if you've ever wondered about some of the stats behind the scenes on youtube...they have a live feed and a video I put up this evening just got picked up by "the algorithm":

will be honest, your channel popped up on my feed on youtube before I realized you were on the forum, was about 2 weeks ago, a happy coincidence

That's cool...technically the algorithm should be finding you vids that other similar people watch. So likely from someone here and you watching the same videos.
 
Tool Test Tuesday again folks! This time, actually a pretty good bargain for a drill. I paid $130 for the kit last year and it's surprisingly a good cordless drill, I actually prefer it over my bigger full size cordless drills:

 
Gold quick video, Ryan.
Cleaning and lubricating the Caliper’s pins ensures full even wear on the pads.
This extends the rotor life and avoids early replacement of components.

How is your hunt for a mill going ?

Thanks!

I check the used sites daily (marketplace, kijiji, auctions, etc.) but nothing yet. I might just order new from Precision Matthews this summer, especially if @CWret goes for one too and we can save on some transport costs.
 
Precision Matthews has a nice unit - #PM-940S.
It has a larger working window then most knee mills.
About 1000 lbs.
but . .
I don’t think they are delivering it until sometime this summer.

You've seen my garage...I don't have space for the 940. Might be able to squeeze a 932 in, but a 727 is probably more reasonable size.

Pffft. Talk to me when your mower is 35 years old and starts on the second pull after another winter in the shed. Lawnboy 2 cycle FTW!

I've got faith this Honda will be running for a long long time.

It replaced an old Briggs mower that just would not die (which is an idea I have for another video lol mower destruction sounds fun)...but was so long in the tooth it was time for something better.
