  • 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!

    Running Linux and which version in order to run WINE or some other WIN-7..WIN-10 option.

    The problem is I don't want to go to WIN-11. Mind you I stayed with WIN-7 for about 3 years after support was discontinued. Was then finally forced to update by the software I was running. An upgrade wouldn't run on WIN-7 any more. Don't remember which one. I'm not fond of a company...

    Running Linux and which version in order to run WINE or some other WIN-7..WIN-10 option.

    Hopefully title says it all. I want to put Linux on my old WIN-7 workstation. I'd like to be able to run some of the WIN-7 applications that aren't available under Linux. So which version of Linux is a best bet for this sort of thing. I already run Debian LinuxCNC for the mill and on Pi4...

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    Crap! You've just made it that much more difficult to do some subtle sabotage. Sorry group. We're going to have to come up with new ideas. And speaking of new ideas and totally off topic but perhaps a way of distracting @David my little pea seeds have sprouted and are doing nicely. Want to...

    A near miss and big consequences

    So here's the lowdown from my Pharmacist wife. You may not know you had chickenpox as for some it barely presents itself. For example our older son had 4 pox. Our late son Misha was covered. So the advice from Pharmacists is get the vaccine anyway.

    Help to modify a motor shaft from 10mm to 8mm

    All the motors I see online with that part number have keys or flats. There are even some with 8mm shafts. This one has a 10mm shaft but a flat so turning it down results in an interrupted cut. https://www.amazon.ca/Brushless-Motor-Sensor-Skateboard-Engine/dp/B07Z9WX4R3?th=1 Also I don't...

    Shoulder check

    Good article. Explains to some extent what Victoria is doing downtown. Although they might see less deaths they may see more injuries. Setting up a city area with a population of about 300,000 to be like one that has 1.5 million people in the same area is not always the best solution...

    JCDammeyer's 42 projects

    I don't remember who put me onto this 3D printed lathe tool height gizmo. I printed both versions and have only one bearing handy. An old one so it's a bit sloppy but... seems to work. I ordered the bubble level insert but for now this works. Nice to make something in the shop even if it's...

    The trouble is trying to get David out to a class wearing a suit. He's already full of action.
