  • 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!

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    I would guess that is a 2 gallon tank. Mine is a 4 and has the two tanks stacked. Like DavidR8 said, I tried a 4 gallon portable tank in line with mine, it helped extend the air I got for the short term, but not for continuous air supply.

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

It is an Iron horse I bought around 15 years ago or more from House of Tools. Keeps up ok with smaller air tools, but not my MAC 1/2" impact and runs out quick with...

    I park my truck outside. Just have to keep the battery in good shape and plug in the block heater. I want my wife to park outside, so I don't have to clean up the mess and I almost double the floor space to pile stuff on permanently.

    BTW the obvious answer, and one I am surprised @Susquatch didn't mention is to not park in the garage. I have not been able to get that one to work unfortunately.

    As a side question, how are you going to get the vacuum to suck up the water off the mat and not suck up the mat and kill the vacuum? I have a mat under my wife's vehicle that fills up as well. I have tried to vacuum it up, but it tends to pool in various places and not all in one spot. So I...
