  • 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!

    I'd try Quest Industrial -- not sure if they have a minimum currently -- might depend on who you get at the counter, I have been given freebies there for onesies, twosies in the past, but I usually offer a cash donation to their doughnut or beer fund.

    CA-AB Drill rod/Silver steel Calgary

    Quest Industrial in Calgary stocks W-1 drill rod. If I'm going to harden it, I prefer O-1 (oil hardening). I have read that A-2 warps less when hardened but any time I've looked, its considerably more expensive.
