  • 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!

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    Slitting saw now has a home as well. I printed the saw rack vertically to avoid using supports. Could of added 1 maybe 2 more slots, obviously if the blades were vertical more could be stored in the same space, but I was limiting the space required to allow it to fit in lower height drawers.

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    Had picked up a used 1-2 without a case. So I printed one. This one has a longer area for the mic head to sit in without having to wind it in when done using it like the standard factory cases are. Pocket area for adjustment tool and standards. Pierre

    Grinder for removing swelling on hot rolls

    Top roll is +90% done, and one can see the chatter marks left from the supplier’s grinder! We need to talk to him about that! I will be doing both rolls naturally and then moving on the the other machines. Pierre

    Grinder for removing swelling on hot rolls

    That is right. We believe this should work as we are just removing a small amount of metal and not in a rush to do so. Going to set it up next week and try it. Fingers crossed! Pierre

    Grinder for removing swelling on hot rolls
