• 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!

Rotating tip dti

After many years of wanting one and passive searching, I finally found one.

What you see, is what I got with it, but not what I paid. I had to part with $28 hard earned dollars....:)

Also picked up 2 large Heinrich style drill press vises for $24 each too.....they're well used and need some cleanup, but will provide many more decades of service.

Picked these up a couple weeks ago, just finally poking my head up from underwater to post about them...

I knew about rotating probes, but never saw one in real life before. Very cool!

Apparently, you also know that the tip on most dti's can be repositioned in the same plane cuz I saw you do that too. But I have learned to mention that from time to time cuz most fellows don't know that. Also, some indicators have an action reversal lever on them.
