• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

This is an ongoing challenge for many members. The images system has been messed up for quite some time on the forum with no sign of hope for the future.

The best way to improve the situation. Is for the poster to select thumbnail when uploading a photo.

Post in thread 'Another Problem Filled Project'

Hi All,

Pushing on trying to bring this project to completion.

Next up was to machine the two 1/16" wide by 1/8" deep keys to join all of the separate radius gauge body parts together. Seems like a simple straightforward operation but no... I had to make it difficult for myself and I did.

The first operation was to grind up some scrap pieces of steel to enable the key material to be a light tap fit in the previously milled keyway slots. This was done on the SG but since the material is so thin and as I don't have a fine pole magnetic chuck, I needed to block the parts and to take...

Is this behavior normal? Is it diagnostic at all to the PITA issue? What is it about THESE images or posts that drive this behavior? Or maybe that the million dollar question.
ps - I tried the same procedure on several pictures in same thread, not exhaustive, but seems like all of his pics fall in this category. Surely there has to be a common denominator
