  • 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!

    Anyone fabricate Excello 602 riser?

    You are absolutely correct about the metric headed fasteners on the First, mine anyhow. It also uses an m6 dog point set screw as the R8 key in the spindle so there are metric fasteners in the mix too. None of this is a problem as long as you don’t forget……. D. :cool:

    Metal lathe, $9500, Parkland County, AB

    No intention to start a rumour, just making light of the “lathe in the basement surrounded by boxes and everything else“ stereotype! No way something the weight of that beast would be in a basement unless it had a grade entry or maybe a loading dock!;) How big is the surface grinder you...
