• 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!

Lathe VFD?

Don't you think that's well worth the cost, considering how much time you've spent trying to find other less than perfect alternatives. :oops:

The Scott's are proud of their penny pinching ways. But I'm pretty sure they inherited that trait from my Viking ancestors.

Besides, I don't have to put a dollar value on my time anymore. Instead, time is my life now and I can't think of many things I'd rather do in what little of that time I have left.

Haha!! Ok, but you're saying you'd rather fritter away trying to make it work, rather than making stuff with your lathe:p

Don't be putting words in my mouth you!

I'm not even disconnecting my current motor and controls till everything else is worked out. At most, I'll lose a day or two of machining time.

In the meantime, solving the problems is what I enjoy doing when I'm too tired to do anything else.
