  • 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!

    What do you think of this Bridgeport?

    It’s a great deal..... if you can do most of it yourself. And 575V is unfortunate, fixable, but costly. And no DRO so..... is it worth $5000 or can you find one for $3500 - $4000 all done up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you think of this Bridgeport?

    Millwrights to move it will be $1500. Thats what I was quoted to move a surface grinder (similar size/wt) across town in Hamilton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
