  • 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!

    Toolholder order from igstool.com

    Only 4 30 taper, a lot of TTS with collets though which is for the tormach I got a little while ago.

    Toolholder order from igstool.com

    Well the tooling order showed up today. There's a fair bit of it so it'll take me some time to give my final views (may never even happen, who knows). So far it's positive, just typical lower end quality control on things like labels and such. I don't care about that as long as the tools are...

    Re-boring Keyed Drive Hub - Ideas?

    I don't have a reamer in that size but I do have a lathe. Boring in the lathe is the best way to go, the keyway shouldn't be a big problem.. As long as you don't then need a deeper keyway because of the diameter change (not like a reamer would change that). A drill would not be accurate though...

    Toolholder order from igstool.com

    Roughly 28usd for either the ER40 or ER32. For me it was that they are one of a very few that manufacture TTS style holders, which I think tormach dramatically over charges for in my opinion..

    Toolholder order from igstool.com

    I've been in contact with a sales rep. from http://www.igstool.com/ and am going to put in an order relatively soon. To be honest, I've never used these guys before so it will be a trial order but I figured that I'd open it up to others who would like to try some of their holders. I haven't had...

    Plastics for sale

    I have a variety of delrin, Teflon, phenolic and pvc for machining that I am unlikely to use all of. Most of these are best suited for lathe work as they are rounds but all fairly large (1in thick at least, up to 14in diameter). If you are looking for any of thee materials please send me an...

    Calgary (or Canadian) Source for Metric Broachs and Broach Bushings?

    Sowa has them, try act since they are a distributor. Broaches are very expensive though.. I'm sure you already know this. I also stumbled onto a place called dmh machine tools. Never went in but they sell cutting tools. May be worth a shot on Tuesday.

    ER40 Collet?

    Kms has sets and I think maybe some individual, act equipment or quest Industrial may have them.

    Wanted: CNC Mill

    I've literally had this conversation with fanuc. I'm not saying it's a shitty control, I'm saying if it breaks you're over a barrel and that's where they take advantage. They are generally quite inexpensive options which is fanuc's business model.. Sell it for less, make up for it on the back...
