  • 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!

    Thread Size Question

    FYI to those who find this, single point worked...was quick, just pick up the thread and ran it through a couple times manually and they thread ok. The bottom of the thread was just misformed, like they stopped feeding the threading tool while still turning, which is why the things would stop...

    It's for some bad threads in aftermarket Shure microphone grills, I got the spec from here: https://service.shure.com/Service/s/article/sm58-ball-grill-thread-size-rk143g?language=en_US If it's 28 pitch, I think I can just clean them up single point on the lathe carefully (not under power).

I'm going to integrate this somewhere into my basement shop when it's done, won't be in my main garage to begin with (and I couldn't have...

    Shop Looking to buy a dedicated workshop in the next couple of years in the GTA

    I have been casually looking for the same thing for years to the west of the GTA...there is nothing that isn't insanely priced. Even just finding a rural lot with nothing on it is $1m+ unless it's environmentally protected, which anything cheaper always is. Trying to find something that is say...
