• 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!

Hi list, thought this was a neat trick that will save a project and a lot of extra work.

THANKS for posting this!!!! This has been an ongoing problem for me. If the bit isn't slipping in the chuck, the chuck is slipping on the taper or the taper is slipping in the tailstock spindle. A vicious circle that occurs time and time again.

I hear you YYCHM, I've have had the same problem on occasion. Remember NO oil on the male or female tapers, bone dry!

My experience is the slightest oil transferred from your hands while handling or setting up tapers or drill bits can and will cause slippage.

Safety first, glad you enjoyed the information.
