  • 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!

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    I saw one in person a couple days ago for the first time....it's even uglier than I expected. I didn't expect it to be good looking or beautiful but it looks like a poorly made kit car.

    Tool Let's Get This Started - Tool Test Tuesday

    Grinders from any brand will eat batteries really fast. That said, I absolutely LOVE my Dewalt grinders and on a 5ah pack can usually get a day of welding fab cleanup out of a single charge on the smaller sized grinders. I did a video on grinder a couple years ago (can't believe I've been...

    Tool Let's Get This Started - Tool Test Tuesday

    Tool Let's Get This Started - Tool Test Tuesday

    Nice! Hope you and the son's end up liking them, they are a pretty slick design and the end gripping comes in useful. Surprised it took a week to arrive, but might be because of where you are...usually Mississauga hardware I'll order say day 1 (usually in the evening), ships day 2, and arrives...

    Product Montezuma Triangle Toolbox - Dewalt Edition

    So a little more excitement, Montezuma sent me another new model released today of Dewalt branded tool box to check out. This is a smaller shop box size, much more reasonable price, and pretty slick little storage box for specific tasks!
