  • 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!

    WANTED: square bar or heavy guage square tube

    thats a better price; Princess Auto wanted over $4.60/ft did some more figuring and I think what I'll need is 2x2x.188..looks like $5/ft not crazy butI really dont need pretty stuff as this is going to be used under a machine and costmetics are irrelevant

    Acme Tap

    I do have some acme nuts but as stated, they would be too soft to thread with unless it was soft material. for giggles I called a supplier and got quoted 7/8-6 RH acme HSS hand tap $175 shipped to me. not cheap...but cheaper than $250.

    Clear coat on bare metal?

    Do they still use single stage enamel on planes/semi's or is it base/clear now? reason I'm asking is because it was usually some of the most durable stuff available e.g. Dupont Imron Enamel and if it's gone 2-stage, would like to know what is used as clear coat in those applications.
