  • 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!

    On, off switch

    @Razzputen I assume you are speaking to a Rockwell / Beaver wood lathe and stand like this one? Mine has the standard 120V on/off switch see upper left corner of the stand. Wood turning chisels in background upper right. Yes I refurbished mine looks like new and runs and works perfectly. The...

    Tool Post Locking Lever - Where to Buy?

    My first mill is a First mill

    Fastenal in Moose Jaw sucks badly and I'm really trying to be kind with this statement. Purchase a bag of 50 or 100 then get lost. But I only need six A-hole. Just saying!
