  • 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.

    New vise jaw product

    Just saw that Adam Savage had shown this on his tested youtube channel. The fractal vise now available for purchase. At ~$1600USD, it's 1/4 of the price of Norgren Adaptix soft jaw, but looks like it doesn't exactly work flawlessly out of the box. Who here's going to try one out...

    5c collet nose adaptor for lathe spindle

    I'm thinking about making one of these for myself as I need one as well. Do they need to be ground in, or could I get away with strictly lathe work? Otherwise, Grizzly does sell these also. https://www.grizzly.com/parts/grizzly-collet-adapter/p4026001

    Some people just like big expensive rocks

    I still find it a bit grim, but I'm glad to hear it was for a good cause.

    Some people just like big expensive rocks

    "Hey, check it out - I took these rocks from this tragic event where 90 people lost their lives!" People are weird. But the slide site itself - yeah, definitely worth a visit. I drive through a few times a year, and almost feel like I should be holding my breath while driving through Frank. The...
