  • 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!

    Replacement Gear for Craftex CT089 13x24 Lathe

    My advice: Steel gears can be used, but it is better to make a torque limiter instead of the protective effect of nylon gears. I thought it would be an opportunity to exercise, recreate a gear, or find an alternative way to work on the mechanical DIYER itself and have fun! But if you can...

    A Smile Daily notes on mechanical handwork

    The total length is 6.65 meters, which exceeds the length of the measured channel steel, and the welding is extended by 0.65 meters. The weight of this time is beyond my lifting limit, and as I get older, I don't want to risk trying and get injured. I chose the slow but safer installation...

    So the reason for saying this is that early on, I often couldn't settle down to finish a thing, and many of them were eventually given up. After my friend's words helped me push forward and finish something slowly, I thought it benefited a lot, so I kept pushing little by little and I found that...

    I'm glad of your praise. Thank you for your approval. I want you to know that you can do it, too. In 2010, I couldn't even finish a simple contactor self-locking circuit wiring. After I began to love machinery, I was forced to learn some knowledge of machinery and electronics, because now is...

    Start to make a glass canopy, using 120mm channel steel as the main frame, 100*50 square pipe as the main skeleton, and then use 40*40 square pipe as the glass installation split support. Today the layout was completed and a small section of channel steel (or U-shaped steel?) was cut.
