  • 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!

    Is anyone else using AI to support engineering design work?

    But that's not actual negative rake. That's holding a positive rake tool (or insert) at a negative angle. Actual negative rake is useful not for hard materials but for plastic ones

    Is anyone else using AI to support engineering design work?

    RE this specific output, the conclusions on negative rake angle seem wrong You mention C++. Extending that to programming in general, I think that the 1000 idiots to 1 expert ratio is generous, but this is my area of particular expertise. Unfortunately, many poor programming patterns are...
