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.

  • 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!

This is my 6" HV RT Dividing Plate Rant.......

This issue of worm gears is sometimes as matter locating the worm closer to the gear to take out the play (easier said than done, but very doable with a little effort).

In case of indexing in all cases, go only in one direction, if you overshot well go back far enough that you need to fully approach properly, retains the accuracy. I agree a lot of the smaller hobbyist tables need a lot of work to get them anywhere near close enough to be worth using.

You can agree to disagree but that comment was inappropriate and irrelevant.

But I’ll add to it anyhow: Cars now are more reliable than ever. (Not sure about EVs). My (SUV) car’s maintenance schedule requires an oil change every 12 months. WOW.
In the auto industry, yearly technology improvements have been absolutely amazing!!

IMO: He has forgotten more about automotive tech than most of us will ever know.
