  • 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!

    CA-ON Multi-conductor wire

    +1 on Digikey and making sure you have an adequate voltage rating on the cable. Digikey was the best price for multi conductor, voltage (600?) rated cable when I was gearing up my drill press mod. Fast and cheep shipping too. If I recall, the cable was rated for the German railway standard...

    Thanks. It definitely looks different from when I got it! Lots of potential to unlock still. I even did a bit of wood turning on it this aft., the parting tool did great! Yeah, the steady is quite close….in colour, but I’ve spent a little time scoping out adapting it and it’s not quite as...

    Tips/Techniques Making the Square Drive hole in a custom socket.

    Lol! Jussayin’ but don’t you have a bunch of neighbours that owe you favours for fixing their farm equipment? Surely there must be one of them that thinks they can weld and you could give them the credit for the workmanship! ;) I get the need to break in the shaper but you could train the...

    2 hp knee mill price

    I feel your pain. I’m in the Halifax area and the market is probably as barren as where you are except I’m not in the middle of nowhere though I might as well be. There is nowhere near the market like you see in Ontario or out west There is hope though……for the patient and lucky. I got my...

    Tool Replacing a spring punch tip

    I called the Snap-On warranty office (not the local office) and spoke to their guy who looked after me. I think it might have been south of the border. Blue Point is a Snap-On house brand. D :cool:
