  • 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!

    Tool Inexpensive demagnetizers?

    Ya I like @Ironman idea to use a shaded pole motor in another thread (every bathroom fan motor ever) this would give like a 1 inch passthrough, perfect for screwdrivers and such. His comment above though, can you use the stator of any motor for bigger objects? Something i can fit my head in...

    making "spherical" surfaces with a boring head (?)

    Ok that dont sound quite right either, the cutter should be 70mm but should be down and in 49.5, ie past centerpoint of cutter wrt to left edge.... surely that would be a sphere

    making "spherical" surfaces with a boring head (?)

    Set the cutter to 70mm and itll be 24.75 deep. Gun for a depth of 35 and the cutter would be 100mm??? 1.414 (sq root of 2) x stock diameter for cutter, touch off top and go down 49.5? Still not a sphere?

    making "spherical" surfaces with a boring head (?)

    How are you setting the tool height? Touch off top edge and go down 24.75? I want to believe that should create a sphere but my brain creaks like an old wood boat while thinking about it lol. Nice mill, those things look versatile af.
