  • 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!

    Heating a garage - Infrared, innovative or terrible idea?

    I'd agree that NG is the best way to do it. It's a lot more upfront cost but you can do you electrical as everyone else has said at the same time and it will actually keep you warm in the winter. Also i agree with insulating it as well as possible.. it might have some cost to it but its...

    Time for a new air compressor!

    We've got one of the actual Noga brand cool mist setups.. it fills the air with atomized coolant and you start feeling it in your lungs pretty fast. I wouldn't recommend it to most people. For drilling you want flood if possible, even if it's not high volume and pressure you still need it to get...

    My Mini machine upgrades

    There are some videos of people cutting down glass scales on youtube using a diamond wheel and feeding slow with good success, even with a dremel.. I've put a few on my machines and if you give yourself another inch or two when ordering you'll have lots.

    AMMEND Needing help with WIRING some steppers to arduino.

    I think it's POSSIBLE to drive a tiny stepper with an arduino.. but you wouldn't want to do that. Do you have a stepper driver? If you do you'd only need to send step signals to make sure it's working.. pull the direction high and step again, and you'll reverse.

    I doubt that on off switch is your problem. Did you replace the forward and reverse switch at the same time you replaced the other 2 boards? I'd go through that schematic with a multimeter and see what you get for power. The main thing is do is pull the leads off the NEW speed control board at...
