  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    Rotating tip dti

    After many years of wanting one and passive searching, I finally found one. What you see, is what I got with it, but not what I paid. I had to part with $28 hard earned dollars....:) Also picked up 2 large Heinrich style drill press vises for $24 each too.....they're well used and need...

    Tooliom 135s

    I've had this thing in my Amazon cart for months. Curious, but very skeptical about it's quality. It went on sale this week for $89 so I figured what the hell, I've blown $100 on dumber stuff before.... First impressions are that it's hilariously tiny. The stinger is decent for the price...

    Rhino 8 users?

    I know there are a few Rhino users here, just wondering if there is anybody else using V8? I just upgraded from V5 the other day, and have been tooling away at the new features checking them out, and holy crap what a leap forward in a few areas and I haven't even dug that deep yet. The...

    Grinder nut keeper

    Ill start off by saying this is NOT my idea. Wish I could remember whose, but I ran across it a couple weeks ago on Instagram and thought it was genius. Finally made my own... Not much to it. In this case I just cut off a 5/8-11 bolt. Made a simple pot chuck out of a nut, by slicing...

    Tool Inexpensive demagnetizers?

    Trying to find an inexpensive demagnetizer after striking out on a few old eclipse one recently. Accusize is out of stock on this one. The rainforest is sparse for other imports, and TBH they all look janky. Anyone have another source? Or used one of the cheap imports like this and confirm...

    3d printing a Newbould indexer

    For those not familiar with the Newbould indexer, please do yourself a favour and go read the fascinating tale of it's invention, told by it's inventor over at Practical Machinist. It's a great shame that none of the pictures show up anymore. But the story itself is certainly worth a read. I...

    Smithsonian/British Museum 3d scanned library

    https://3d.si.edu/ https://sketchfab.com/britishmuseum/models The Smithsonian and British Museum are scanning objects and uploading them to 3d print. I have not scoured the sites yet, but there might be some cool things to print. I'm sure there are probably others too. Would be neat to do...
