  • 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!

    Laser Cutter/Engraver

    The first picture above loads but the last three do not load for me. I’ve tried two browsers - no good. If cloudflare has a bad cache is there any way to fix it? Do the photos load for anyone?

    Fusion 360 complex models, assemblies and component misalignment

    Does Anyone Still Make The Real Swiss or German Multifix Tool Post? (not an offshore clone)

    Above @Martin w says he prefers 4 way after buying and trying the multifix. I've heard that before from some people.

    Does Anyone Still Make The Real Swiss or German Multifix Tool Post? (not an offshore clone)

    Why do people not like multi-fix? what bugs you? I briefly used one at SAIT while taking their intro lathe course. I liked it, seemed quick and efficient generally.
