  • 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!

    parts for Black & Decker Router model 7610

    @Tom Fitzpatrick : the router I have is a craftsman of the same kind of style. It has a double collet lock and the lock part is broken. Perhaps your router has a similar collet locking? If so, I could box this up and send it? The gearing on this router is steel. The rack is 3/8” wide.

    BaitMaster’s (Work) Bench

    From what I believe the 10”/12” originals and the 11”/13” Utilathe all came out as “LD” or Light Duty? And they also produced a 12”/14”/16” model Utilathe that was the “STD” or what I believe would be “Standard Duty” these lathes are much bigger than the LD Utilathe with 30” and 54” between...
