• 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!

Scored some scrap

Scored some scrap today.
Two really long VGA extension cables.
Two multiconductor shielded cables. These will be nice for consolidating wires from a block of limit switches and sensors for the CNC setup. The grey one is 6 pairs of 22g shielded cable. The other one is a video cable with an odd camera connector on the other end.
Some thick welded aluminum scrap. Some can be melted down if it has the brown paint. The white powder coated stuff is crap for casting since it's so hard to burn off (smells bad) the paint. But with the sabre saw and band saw a number of smaller metal plates can be realized for various projects.
And bunch of lengths (no photo) of DeviceNet Thick cable left over from the Olympic Rings project. I now have enough cable to do my garden lighting project.
