  • 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!

    Personal Protection Hearing and Eyes

    Deck problem

    I have a 6" dado blade, but I would not use it in a circular saw. I would go with a router. Plunge bit, and then follow up with a round over bit with a bearing on the end so the second pass just follows the first. Definitely some kind of straight edge, even a piece of angle clamped to the deck...
