  • 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!

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.

    The best way to display your machinery for sale...

    ...is to put a bunch of your abrasive/cutting power tools across the bedways to show how the machine was really taken care of. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/fort-mcmurray/14-x-40-metal-lathe/1243273343?utm_source=alerts&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email_alerts

    Anyone here got a 3d Printer?

    ironically, I ran to ebay after I posted last comment and saw that someone was selling 0XA holders (pretty much identical) that looked just like that so it looks like a martketable idea. Saw some aluminum ones too but I think they were nearly $100 shipped for 4 holders...way too pricey for my...

    Anyone here got a 3d Printer?

    Had contemplated something like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:224932 Having a broad, rolled edge on my backsplash, I'd have to adapt the notch in the back to be 1-1/4 wide...but you get the idea. As for buying a 3d printer; I'm not there yet. Would have some occasional use but price...

    Anyone here got a 3d Printer?

    I know....I know....asking a 'Plastic' question in a 'Metal' working site = bad karma but since the lines will eventually blur between CNC and 3D printing, I figured the question is valid and there are lots of fabricators here that just might have one... I'm wanting to make a BXA QCTP holder...

    Bridgeport 1J knee mill - anyone looking?

    Yup; saw a few pictures and it's not a pretty as mine but unsure if thats just dirt. Guy is out of town and I'd only go check it out if someone was actually looking for one. Sounds like he's a bit motivated so it may go for the price of a Chinese bench top.

    Kao Fung KF-VO-A2F knee mill for sale

    really doubt it's 5HP considering that its size, design (usually would be 1-2hp)...did you notice that the motor isn't even mounted?!? $1800 now...wayyyy over-priced for a (potentially) trashed chinese mill

    Bridgeport 1J knee mill - anyone looking?

    got a line on a Bridgeport knee mill. Not my machine so I dont know much about condition but having owned one, they are decent if they've been well taken care of. 3-phase power needed; rig up a VFD and it turns this old-belt drive machine into a much nicer-to-use unit. If anyone is...
