  • 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!

    Wanted...... Lifting Magnet.

    I ended up with the small 220lb magnet. For moving things around the shop it is perfect. My rotary table (75lbs) and moving it around has become significantly easier with the magnet and crane. Just closing the loop everyone. I can attest that the PML 100 (100KG/220LB) is worth every penny of the...

    Acme Threads

    Check out Canadian Threadall Limited in Cambridge Ontario. I replaced the lead and cross slide screws on my Atlas 10F and they (affordably) fabricated both acme threaded rods for me. I’m guessing that they would be able to meet your requirements. My best friend had priced a guy on eBay and...

    Hey Shawn. Hi from Ancaster. I used to live in T-Bay. Flew for Bearskin Airlines are you PA or KW side? Lots of good scrap finds over at Mission Island for your furnace.

    Bigger Lathe Question

    Hey guys. I was about to “pull the trigger” on a Monarch 14C. 16 1/2 inch capacity and 30 inches between centres. I was a good deal and the guy was going to deliver it and put it into the garage. It’s a 4500 lb lathe so the delivery was a huge “add on”. 222V single phase conversion had been...
