  • 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!

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    My mind must have been someplace else when I read the post. A good carbide necked back ball nose can get up in price for sure.

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Your plate certainly has very good potential. I really like it, many router folks will follow in your footsteps here I'm sure. Now, If you told me you used an 8"- 1/2 inch necked back ball prior to seeing the surface finish, I would have said you were crazy lol. Nice work for sure, I'm assuming...

    Supplies Picatinny cutting tools?

    I agree with @historicalarms From a hobby/timing standpoint, this could make sense. From a cost effective standpoint, I would look at purchasing, spend the extra time making other things.

    What kind of welding machines you guys have ? Anyone got a Miller multimatic 220?

    Nothing new here in Chintario, we just continue to pay 'n' pay while they continue to take 'n' pull away. Ohhh, the push back is..... Ok, Welders, I'm far from ever being a welder but, Jus' sayin', My daughter recently bought me a Mastercraft mig and flux core welder for my birthday. She is a...

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Nice work considering it was done on a CNC router. The surface finish is much better than I would have thought given the rigidity. My questions have been answered. Thank you for posting.
