  • 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!

    Shop heat

    I had to finish out the inside of my shop when we moved in, so a heater was a must for a few reasons. It's a double wide attached garage, house was built in 2007 but previous owner left it unfinished. On the bright side it meant I got to insulate and wire it how I wanted. Very thankful that it...

    Tool Morse taper drill bits

    I'm thankful to have acquired a small selection of MT drill bits over the years. For sizes over 1/2" I still have a number of reduced shank ones but if possible I use the MT drills as they don't flex much. That and I've had a larger reduced shank bit start spinning in my tail stock chuck before...

    Does the Name "Chambly Machine Works" Ring a Bell with Anyone Here?

Used it once to flatten a Dodge 5.7 exhaust manifold but the belt that came with it was tired and just barely finished...

    Garbage Steel

    I have to admit I'm like a rat at a carnival when I see some good (s)crap in a metal bin. Got a few buddies with bins I can "shop" at, and pick up occasional interesting lots of "Misc Scrap Metal" from auctions. Only got about 7000 lb of steel bits in bins in my garage, thankfully the wife puts...
