The Canadian approach I am taking on a 4x8 is wood. I build all kinds of precision stuff out of ply, very high quality stuff, then I use epoxy to seal it against moisture uptake. I see these crazy...

Except the OP asked a specific question about Tormach design, and suggested he would be more likely to look at Tormach should they adapt servos. Which would tend to indicate his interest in...

For smaller stuff, could you use one of those coffee cup heaters?

If you want to waterproof any of these machines, consider boat building epoxy. There are a lot of ways of using wood epoxy construction techniques to enhance rigidity, and make the wooden parts are...

You want to look at existing machines, some of which are on youtube. But another useful tool to study is the Morgan hand mill.

It is also the quality of people you will run into during your career. If you work for a hedge fund you will meet highly inteligent, highly motivated people with something else on their minds than...

Darebee, do you think that most CNC shops are inundated with applicants, or can't find them. If you are inundated it makes sense to sort by paper qualifications just to get through the pile, if you...

Still waiting for the stepper kit bill, well really not waiting, but it's an open order.

The Toronto CNC router guy sorta lost interest in my order when I mentioned I might want to buy a more...

OK, you would think if:

You emailed a real estate agent you had done business with before, over your desire to buy a commercial property he would call back:

That if you emailed a maker of CNC...

I checked that site, seems like a parallel universe. Nothing exactly for my project, except what looks like a good deal on some collets I am going to need.

Thanks for that. The set I saw on the build your own CNC site listed a 36 volt power supply, so I was wondering about that as it is. I'm not necessarily buying the listed set, for now they don't...

I was thinking of ordering a package like this for my mini mill project, but I thought I should ask here first in case there is a warehouse for this kind of stuff in the GTA. Any help would be...

I just bought an Everlast welder in Brampton. they ship all over. The guy who runs the Can. store is awesome. It is the reverse of the usual US Can thing. We get the newer, better stuff, and...

I live in TO, and there are plastic places all over town. Just hit the yellow pages.

I've been importing for 40 years nearly, and I have had all the ups and downs. UPS is a no-go for me also. But, I did have a positive experience recently. One supplier of bike gear, maker of...

I'd be interested, in such info. I got a lot of scraping gear by good luck. I also need to fix a knee mill which is pretty good but tight on the in out axis. So it needs reconditioning in the Y...

Saving on duty is pointless, it amounts to what you spend on taxes up here, in most cases what you are actually assessed is just the taxes payable. Normally anything vaguely american or computer...

Good news, their free magazine is called epoxyworks, and they are trying to get it online from a certain point, at epoxyworks.com.

Thanks. I was watching OCC last night, which these days is a pretty unlimited festival of product placements, and thought that perhaps people thought the article was a giant shill!

You won't...

That sounds like a great leap forwar, when I convert a plan in my CAD, it resizes the whole shebang in the other system, so the 20 inch guitar becomes 20 cm. Of course it can be adjusted in size...

Just been perusing the various router designs. A lot seem to use MDF or plywood, and this inevitably leads to comments about the stiffness of these materials, alignment, load take-offs, and the...

"I live in Canada which started out to convert officially to metric but stalled partway. There was a sector of the population who predated the introduction of metric by many years and represented a...
