  • 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!

    Rain in Edmonton

    A lot of my low ground is clay. When it gets too wet, it acts like a rubber liner. Only the odd crayfish hole drains down to the drainage tiles. Oddly, a prolonged dry spell actually helps because the cracks can sometimes reach all the way down to the tile. So I have to cut small drainage...

    Rain in Edmonton

    6.5 is also 264 but ya, I hear ya.. I'm pretty bilingual. But despite the majority of my career being in metric, I still THINK in Imperial. Trying to think in metric just crashes the computer. I see or read or hear 5cm, and my mind instantly sees 2 inches and a wee bit. Holy Crap. So you are...

    Product Chuck for rotary table

    Sure I have. Same deal. A center or a dialed in part. I also have a 5C spindexer and tailstock. I use the spindexer A LOT! Kinda makes sense. The 5C collet chuck on the lathe also gets used more than all my other chucks combined. I think you nailed it. I don't recall ever working on more...

    Product Chuck for rotary table

    In all the years I've used a rotary table, I've never once used a chuck on it. Its not that I couldn't, I just haven't. I usually just indicate the work in or use an MT3 arbour in the table center and clamp the work down using the T-Slots.

    I have two. Both Honda's. They are both jewels. A 3000is that I bought after the big blackout when everything was on the subsequent fire sale. A 2000is that i got to power my travel trailer off grid. I hardly ever use the 3000 anymore. The 2000 is much more portable and provides enough juice...

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    I know eh...... He makes the rest of us look REALLY BAD. A few of us have tried putting salt on his tail, but you have a point. Maybe we should focus on figuring out what his success factors are and go after those instead.

    Really ?

    In my defense, this is what I see/saw on JustaDB's post. I don't see everything after that This really was fun. It turns out that you were right all along. It was painful for me to drag you far enough to get me there, but I am now there. And best of all, I see why and how I fell off the...

    Hey @Stuart Samuel,

    Hello from Almonte, Ontario (just left of Ottawa; but don't hold that against me!)

    That totally depends on how much you have been drinking, of what, and which way you are facing at the moment you need to decide. It's not a good time to be dizzy. Back in my groundhog hunting days I came to appreciate the fact that the Mennonites don't have lefts or rights. Everything is a...
