  • 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!

    Some quick math here. If your spindle is turning 3000 RPM that's 50 RPS. So 2400 edges per rev is 120,000 edges per second or one...

    Linux can do power tapping with 60 which in quadrature is 240 edges per rev. A 600 line encoder would result in 2400 edges per rev...

    One could use PETG or ABS. The idea behind this was filtering alcohol from resin printers to filter out the used resin. I don't have a...
