• 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!

I Tried, It Broke

Saw this on Facebook, wonder where I could find one. And a reliable source for vacuum tubes.

Demonstrated at the 1955 Chicago Machine Tool Show, along with a number of other vendors with punched card or paper tape machines that were either fully developed or in prototype form. These included Kearney & Trecker's Milwaukee-Matic II that could change its cutting tool under numerical control, a common feature on modern machines.

Impressive... I like the turret.

The fire extinguisher is interesting, I imagine they had a few critics while it was being developed.

Fire extinguisher? You mean the air reservoir on the LH back corner?
Air is typically used to compress a stack of Bellville washers on the draw bar, for tool holder retention. Easy to control with a solenoid air valve, and safe, as the default failure mode is to just sit there holding the tool holder securely!
