  • 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!

    Triple Spider Idea used to align barrels for chamber reaming

    Thank you guys for explaining. I had no idea. I'll repost this question a different way. I'll have to try the CGN machinist sub forum. I've belonged to the site for years, but I mostly stopped going there as a lot of people on there are kind of elitist thinking. They often don't play nice with...

    Quiet air compressor ?

    Try googling- diy build a soundproof air compressor box There's a huge amount of different designs to choose from, and most are fairly inexpensive. If you spend more, you can make it virtually silent. And still spend way less than a new air compressor . Lots of people even mount the box and...

    Where to buy a Reilang r003 precision oiler with double pumps

    I looked at that one Wayne. It looks very nice, but it is double the price the original. I use hockey tape on many of my tools and other stuff to improve grip, so I'll try that on this one. If it's tippy, I can always make some type of wider base. Maybe as a second one once I have some money...

    Where to buy a Reilang r003 precision oiler with double pumps

Being crippled really sucks, but...
