  • 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!

    Looking for a 7x12 Bandsaw

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I haven't tried mine but I've got 20l of the band-ade stuff. According to ellis my machine was designed to run dry but I don't believe any saw can't or shouldn't run coolant. Whenever I get off my ass and make a sump and pump setup I'll start running flood...

    Wanted - Rotary Phase Converter

    So my shop built converter is available. I should warn you - I built it into my 600v transformer and pulled it out of there so it requires an enclosure. If you want to put the time in I'll give you a good deal.. if you want a plug and play I could probably get an enclosure and put it all in...

    Shop racking

    I've got a few sets of "Trim line EZ-rect" shelving that I don't need anymore. I don't have a picture of the exact ones but I'll attach a picture from Google. They're about 4' x 16" floor space and 6' tall and can nest into longer sections. They came from a machine shop in town and hold quite a...

    Looking for a hobby MIG

    Every good welder I've worked with has drank lots of coffee, and drank a lot after work.. I always blamed the right mixture of both of those to give them the perfect shake to lay a bead.. I've always used a 2nd had to steady the rod until it's maybe half length, you get used to it but I'd...
