  • 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!

    Power feed for CX601

    Thanks. I'm located in Vaughan, ON. I'll look more into the Vevor power feeds. I'm also looking into Precision Matthews although not cheap.

    Power feed for CX601

    Hello, does anyone know which power feed model will work with a CX601. It has a 12mm shaft. I've found a few on Vevor and Amazon that fit a 5/8 shaft but I do not access to a lathe in case I need to make an adapter.

    Looking into buying first mill

    Looking into buying first mill

    Hello all. First post here. I'm looking into buying my first milling machine. Found this CX601 at Busy Bee. Does this image of the ways look ok? The table feels smooth with no play when moving.
