  • 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!

    Physical activities…..

    I have to agree with @Engmaxx . Watch what you eat and control your calories intake. I have tried to keep up Biking for 10 kms, a few times weekly. Biking is Low impact, increases your heart rate and helps with blood flow. I will be 63 in July and it still feels great to bike around.

    Charlie, I have I-Gaging EZ View DROs on my 3/4hp Mini Mill. What have you found to be the most common cause of JUMPING on the displays ? (Dirt, Sensors, Wiring static . . .)

    Sourcing Metal | General Discussion

    I have spoke to a few people from McKinnon Metals and was told that they have an ‘off cut’ bin if you are looking for shorter pieces. Prices were higher than others, but, they seem very to be quite informed of the metals and properties. If you have a few recent prices from them send me a PM. I...

    RWDI did the wind loads on a group of buildings and fluid dynamic simulations for some of the extrusion dies I developed at ARMTEC. Keep on experimenting. The nice thing about ‘experimental’ is that you can try a lot of processes. I heard that parallel profile details are being used now...

    Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

    Nice try. I have a few ‘Rec Hockey Buddies’ that have a ‘process’ as well. It might cost me some ice and glasses.

    Shop Table top crane

    I understand the use of a crane on the mill. Just make sure you have a large enough (3/8-1/2” thk.) plate that will tie to the T Slots of the table. If you have too much over-hung load you could damage the table ways and derail the table. Most mill tables are cast iron and susceptible to...
