2023 May Meetup - Calgary organization thread.

[YYCHM]

Heads up to..

@Jwest7788 and @Alexander

Sheesh... I can't believe I missed them on my previous list

 

[ducdon]

I intend to bring this along. 0.2 HP DC motor and electronic speed control. I really don't have a project for it. If anyone is interested the proceeds could go to the meetup funding. I have about $60 invested?

 

[RobinHood]

I wonder if that could be made into a slow speed carbide insert grinder?

Motor spec is: no load RPM 2875 RPM, 90 in-oz torque at 2435 RPM .22 HP, output shaft is .375 in.

 

[ducdon]

My thinking was it might work well on a TAIG or Sherline lathe?

 

[Janger]

@ducdon It could be a die filer ! I'll buy it!

If he doesn’t take it I will.

thanks for asking John. Place is set-up.

 

[Tom Kitta]

I bring some stuff for sale and maybe some stuff for donation to the forum as well.

 

[RobinHood]

I have a 4J chuck challenge set-up. No gimmick or traps (like at the Bar-z bash). Just a piece of stock 316 SS with a machined “ring” on the end (so that part is actually round), a cheap mag base with an off shore dial indicator and the 4J on the little SM1120. Everyone who wants to try it can. We’ll get someone to run a stop watch. The jaws will be set to the same starting position for each of the contestants. Just get it to run less than a thou and your time stops. We won’t go measure it with 1/10 indicator and add any deviation to your time (maybe next time?). Only the ring needs to run true, not the face.

Oh, and bring some cool / unique tool or project you are working on for the group to drool over (if you want).

Sure, good idea Tom: if you have something you’d like to sell or swap - go for it.

I have an extra telescoping gauge set I can donate to the forum.

It's the Princess Auto set you see here.

I may not be able to attend the Meet Up, but will make sure whoever these are assigned to will get them.
