Re: Vice mods for odd angle cuts ideas.
开云体育Here's another one, but it's specialized for a particular weldment.?I use it as a cutting jig in the band saw, a machining jig on the mill, and a setup jig for welding. Other Bill On 1/2/2023 9:28 PM, David Pidwerbecki

Re: Vice mods for odd angle cuts ideas.
开云体育I have a Grizzly swivel-head band saw, so most angles are easy. Acute angles, it does not do well however.I needed to cut a bunch of stainless tubing, at a 30 degree angle, so I built an angle jig out of some stuff laying around. (See attached) Easy to modify to fit the job. Other Bill On 1/2/2023 9:28 PM, David Pidwerbecki

Hi David, I'm away from home for a week with my grandkids (Christmas break in the summer sun down here). I'll post what I've got when I get back - jv On Tue, 3 Jan 2023, 6:28 pm David Pidwerbecki, <dpidwerbecki@...> wrote: I’m pretty happy with my saw now but am looking to make a vise modification so I can use the saw to remove material at odd angles, etc. on smaller parts before working on the lathe or mill.?

Re: how to square vertical cutting table?
开云体育I have had good luck with brazing (silver soldering) but with the edges scarfed. I use a simple jig to keep the ends in place.?? I have only used to repair blades and also to shorten some long ones I was given. I can always hear the joint passing through the work because a couple of teeth need to be removed due to the scarfing overlap. ? Sent from for Windows ? From: David Pidwerbecki

Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month
Rounding to the nearest dollar, I've got $115 left in my PayPal account for next year, $94 transferring to my bank to be applied to the credit card, and I decided I better only contribute $10, my self this year. Had an auto accident last week, totaled my new 2022 Hyundai Accent, and I'm once again housing my youngest child. Driving the old Chevy truck which gets 15.5mpg stings a lot worse than the 40mpg Accent. Had to fill the truck again today, half a tank was only $43, but last tank was $55.18, and the one before was $69.04. And all that was this past? week alone! Not to mention that the card I was going to charge the fee to seems to have gotten compromised. It got canceled this afternoon, so I've been juggling to get things paid properly. I was trying to avoid the problem of having to keep track of the the extra money, but it's actually a good problem to have, so I'll quit whining! ;)
We got a total of $208.40 in donations this year, which is nearly enough to cover a year, not counting my small contribution. Thank you to all who contributed, and I hope all of you who were not able to contribute for financial reasons are doing much better this time next year! Good luck, and God Bless! Bill in OKC |

Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month
开云体育If there is more than enough, and any of the other groups you participate in need help, I have no problem with shifting the excess to them. I have a particular interest in the Lewis Machine group for instance. But I’m on a bunch of these groups, so, where ever it is needed.On Dec 9, 2022, at 1:35 PM, seb fontana via groups.io <speedoo51@...> wrote:

I've got $116 left of the contributions donated last year, but cannot afford to cover the rest of the $220 they want. They have a method to accept donations through an organization called Stripe. GIO charges a 2% premium to use that service, and Stripe charges an unknown amount to make a donation via there service. The examples on their website seem to be a bit over 10%, which I feel is highway robbery! I can accept donations through Paypal, and if you make them using the Friends and Family option, there is no charge. Since we're not a business, that should be fine. I need a total of $84 in donations to cover the fee. I'm kicking in $20 myself, and if twenty people can donate $4.20, that will cover the amount I'm short. I would prefer not to get donations over the amount we need, as I'm in my late 60's, and I wouldn't want to die and possibly lose the extra money for the group.? If you care to make a donation, send it to wmrmeyers (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net? My understanding is that if you put a note on it, they consider a business transaction, and charge their premium. Think that's 4%. Just post a note on the in this thread that you've contributed if you feel like it. The renewal is paid by credit card, so the group won't get shut down if I don't get the money before the renewal date, which is December 22nd. I know that a lot of folks are a little tight in the wallet right now. It won't hurt me if some of the contributions come in after the first of the year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year even if you don't celebrate those holidays!? Bill in OKC ? |

Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month
People keep sending money, but I've already got enough! I guess some folks thought I was asking for more than I needed, too, as some folks left the group, and some others marked the message as spam. I appreciate all those who contributed, and much of what I'm doing here is paying forward, since I can't pay back the folks who helped me when I first started to learn machining. I was unemployed, and nearly broke, back then, and I remember many folks who helped me learn to do this stuff on the cheap, and didn't insist I had to cough up money I couldn't afford to be able to learn.?

Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month
Problem with new free groups is you can have a maximum of 100 members, IIRC. Over that, the group has a per-person charge per month and you have to go to a Premium group. I own a couple of free groups that were established before that rule change, so have more than 100 members, but new groups are more limited, IMO. My 3D printing group currently has 202 members, and is still free. You couldn't start a group like that and exceed 100 members now, but the older groups are grandfathered. /static/pricing? We had too many files and photos that I and others thought were worth preserving to go with the free group, and didn't get transferred from Yahoo in time to avoid the first price bump. 开云体育 had to massively upgrade their server farm to manage the rush when Yahoo notified everyone that they were dumping Yahoo Groups. Naturally, any business that wants to stay in business has to pass their increased costs on to the customers if they want to stay in business.? If I were rich and famous, I'd establish an Enterprise group, and move all my groups to it. I'm retired now, and to do something like that I'd have to win big on the Lottery. Seems unlikely, since I don't buy lottery tickets. ;) So far as I can tell, this is the best we can do unless we want to set up our own server.? Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

First and foremost, have you tried to find old info in Facebook? I didn't think about this aspect but you're absolutely correct. This is a good reason to keep stay with 开云体育. I will say, I'm not at all concerned about FB security and navigating FB is much easier than Groups.IO. I've belonged to the Logan Lathe group for a long time so I've learned how to use many features but it's still awkward and not intuitive.? Posting links and pictures is a prime example. If you paste a picture into a comment only some will see it.? I'm okay with this format now but for people new to the group it can be challenging! |

Re: Premium Group renewal fee is due this month
A number of reasons. First and foremost, have you tried to find old info in Facebook? Second, and really the most important IMO, FB changes their security policies way to frequently, and is so insecure it's a joke.
