  • 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!

    Any reviews or advice on the Craftex CX 611 milling machine for light steel work

    Since my last post I've installed a "TOAUTO" 3 axis DRO on it. Indeed, this is an awesome addition. Here's a picture attached...

    Very busy week-end

    Thanks for the nice comments. Encouraging. Right now I'm almost done installing the 3 axis DRO on the mill. I will post few picks when I'm done. Maybe this week-end. BTW, this little DL50 DRO is really nice to operate. Very nice addition to the lathe.

    Very busy week-end

    After committing on a bench lathe and milling machine two weeks ago, this week-end was a good opportunity to fit them out with the usual goodies. Installed a QCTP, 2 axis DRO, and work light on the lathe and installed the bracket for the 3 axis DRO for the mill. The linear scale of the ToAuto...

    Positioning keys width underneath a milling vise

    Thanks guys. I'm gone to take them out. Indeed, even with keys, one need to indicate the vise anyway so never mind the keys. !

    Positioning keys width underneath a milling vise

    I've scavenged this forum hoping to see if someone ran into the same problem as I do. Or perhaps it is just me who worry about something I should not. You tell me. I just bought a brand new milling machine (a CX611) and my 4in milling vise has positioning keys that are too large to fit the...

    Any reviews or advice on the Craftex CX 611 milling machine for light steel work

    It looks like somewhere down the road, Todd's question was completely lost; what about the BB CX611 mill ?? I too am giving serious thoughts on this one. And NO I'm not intersted in a 1/2 a milion ton piece of antique machinery. Anyone has experience of using the CX611?. Thanks

    We are a few builder around here banging rivets and sometime composite material like so in the rest of Canada. Proportionally, I'd say we compare to our neighbors south of the border.

    I thought maybe I could share few pictures of my two current project. One is the aircraft build; an RV-14A. The kit comes from Van's Aircraft in Oregon, USA. I'm now 6 years into that build. The other one is a Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 which I converted from a "Low" version to a...

    New hobbyist from Quebec

    I've been a quiet member since last winter when I signed up but now decided to say hello. I bought a King Industrial combo mill/lathe last January and made some chips with it. Few tough lessons learned later, I trust I have improved my skills and knowledge into the art. Because I believe that...
