  • 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!

    Good news . . . Ron. Roy is always busy, but, he knows his way around a few makes of Knee Mills and has been repairing the Ex-Cell-O 602s for years. It takes time to nail him down, but, it is worth it.

    The undercutter

    Make sure they are sturdy and strong. You might have some heavy chucks and faceplates in there.

    Hey Mickey, I used to manage development programs for a company that built the tire-making machinery for the Space Shuttles. I even travelled to the Kennedy Space Center about 20 years ago. BTW: Avro still has a few operations in Mississauga (Malton area).

    David, Don’t be teasing us with a lot of WIP reports. We want to see the finished product, then we will start tearing it apart. LOL

    Parting is such sweet sorrow

    I think you meant to say the limitation is ‘wall thickness’. That parting tool should be good to do as large as you can ‘Chuck Up’.
