I have used their service myself from time to time. A friend of mine did more regularly, running a HAAS CNC, and I remember him sticking with them for a while. Back then he had "batch" projects that would use up tooling, then he'd fix or replace things that broke, or sharpen what was dull, to...

If it's more than one or two, I would choose to have them sharpened, not do it myself. If in Alberta, ask Allblades how much it costs to sharpen "X" number of "Y"-fluted endmills. https://allblades.ca/contact/ If you're elsewhere in Canada, you may find a local sharpening service.

Nice What heat treatment process did you settle on?

Thanks for posting that! It speaks clearly, without saying a word. Recent developments at my workplace: one of the young members of the engineering department on his own initiative set up a 2-week work-sharing with our sheet-metal shop. Only partly at my suggestion; a number of other "old...

Some things I've come up with for the course. The goals would be simply to make the angles bent from sheet-metal and drill holes in a straight line across the flanges. Different holes can have different functions, such as rivets, countersunk rivets, or screws/bolts. Lots to talk about just...

@Janger, I like that "drill guide" idea. It suggests several things I might do for the 4th day...

@Janger, You're right, of course, but in order to lay the groundwork for success, I shouldn't be setting up operations that need 90 pounds on a breaker bar, for example.

Hey, yeah! Those are fun ideas. +1vote for the photo of that C-clamp! At some point SAIT switched over to making a machinist's hammer. We even heat-treated the head. Still got mine. SAIT Aero class of 1999, here, by the way. Eagle, Borek, Field, Avmax - I've worked with them all, now...
