  • 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!

    Is it possible to mount a thicker stone on the 13A/B models together with bigger collets ie modify for bigger drill bits??? Maybe this question belongs more in the other half of this thread but the question follows from the previous point here?

    I bought a Drill Doctor a long time ago. Played around with it a little and was not terribly impressed with it altho like @Susquatch it was probably better than what I could do by hand and that was when I still had some decent eyesight left! I also have a ton of old drill bits that could use...
