• 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!

US General 387 indicator holder

Two way adjustable Noga arrived today. I can sure see why you guys like it!

Very solid, very easy to adjust. Love the 4-way indicator holder (small&large shaft, dovetail, & lug - See 2nd and third photo below). Longer reach than my other holders too!

Pricy even on sale, but worth it.

I just realized another REALLY NICE way of using the dual adjustments...... Put them at 90 degrees to each other and suddenly you have fine adjustment of both x & y axis!

The tip adjustment is also useful for those times when you need a vertical adjustment on a horizontally mounted base!

Ya,.... Very happy "Shade Tree" Machinist here....... LOL!

Didn't have to wait long at all for a chance to call myself that!
