  • 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!

    2023 May Meetup - Calgary organization thread.

    I intend to bring this along. 0.2 HP DC motor and electronic speed control. I really don't have a project for it. If anyone is interested the proceeds could go to the meetup funding. I have about $60 invested?

    I'm not sure about pistons. I see import cast pistons available but only for standard sizes, Wiseco don't list them in their current catalogue. It could be challenge! I wouldn't suggest you tool up for just one set of cylinders unless you plan to take in other work. . Jim Titmus has the...

    Moving the head on a round column mill.

    I've never used a round column mill but I have read many posts on various forums about the limitations of round column for varying tool lengths. This link offers some hack to deal with this problem that I found interesting.

    DC Motor

    Very similar but not from a treadmill. I suspect maybe it was intended to be paired with a gear reduction drive. The output shaft is only 3/8 inch, it's short and has a slot cut in the end like it was intended to engage with something other than a pully and it's only about 1/4 HP.
