  • 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!

    The DECKEL-FP3 conversion project, which had been suspended for several years, was started

    The tube is not big, it just looks huge because of the Angle of the shot. I think for amateur electricians, wire numbering is a tedious thing, although I have some experience, but it is still a big challenge. I try to make the line number clear and detailed, which is good for future...

    A Smile Daily notes on mechanical handwork

    In the photo outside my shop, the trees are native, bamboo and vine plants that I have spent 5 years to slowly cultivate, I love the feeling of being surrounded by green plants. The wall of lush plants is beautiful, which is probably one of the reasons why the lawn in my yard is not easy to...

    I made my own chuck wrench

    I'm worried that the key will wear away the paint on the lathe, so I don't let the key touch the surface of the lathe. Your idea is very good, I have manufactured some small batch lathe keys. The iron red color (M11) was manufactured for the first time, but there were some minor defects. After...

    Other Basic Electronics, Multimeters, & Oscilloscopes

    I am also an electronic idiot, but I still have my own learning experience, hoping to help other electronic white. I remember when I first started using the frequency converter (VFD), I was extremely confused in the face of the simplest parameters, and could only rely on mechanical recording to...

    Other Basic Electronics, Multimeters, & Oscilloscopes

    This is a very necessary popular science tutorial, I love it! Although I may not have the time or energy to learn its complex functions in depth, simple measurements are still very useful techniques. The reason why I don't want to study deeply is that it requires too much time and energy. And I...

    A Smile Daily notes on mechanical handwork

    Today, we have some time to promote the welding of the canopy frame of the yard. First, we will cut the L-shaped welding interface, which will strengthen the welding strength. Today, I polished the welding edge for the first time, because the hot dip galvanizing layer will seriously affect the...

    A Smile Daily notes on mechanical handwork

    I cherish all the plants in my yard, not that I don't want to learn about plants, but that I really don't have the time, I feel that my knowledge is still too little, there are always some new problems, and I always need to constantly learn new (new for me) knowledge. Fortunately, after 4 years...

    The DECKEL-FP3 conversion project, which had been suspended for several years, was started

    Indeed, we can choose a self-coupling transformer, or we can choose an isolation transformer, because everyone uses an isolation transformer on CNC equipment. I understand that it is safer and more pure, and I also think that the self-coupling transformer can be used, but it should also be...

    The DECKEL-FP3 conversion project, which had been suspended for several years, was started

    The servo drive is AC220*3, and we are accessing AC380*3, so the isolation transformer is definitely needed, and there will be various clutter interference in the circuit, adding a filter should be beneficial. Also, I happened to buy some filters at a very cheap time, so the addition can only be...
