  • 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!

    I have only bought one motor from them but the sale went very well. If I need another I would go back to them.

    Harrison M300 Taper Attachment

    .750" (Might be .749" I measured with a caliper) diameter. 12.5" long it is machined (milled) on one end. A piece of drill rod would probably make a nice replacement.

    Another bada$$ reason to buy a 3d printer

    A friend of mine needed a gear for his 10 HP lathe to use to do some threading. He had one 3D printed and it worked great. Some 3D printed stuff is tougher than most people think.

    KBIC-240 230VAC Input 180VDC Output speed control.

    There is no enclosure. The resistor currently installed was used with a 3/4 HP 180 VDC motor. The resistor is easy to change if the current one is not what you want.
