  • 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!

    Lee Valley used to sell all types of corner protectors and similar hardware. Not sure if they still do but could be worth looking into.

    Proper mill cutter and technique

    I was pretty tired when I wrote my question and probably made it quite complicated. I tend to do that :oops: This was all I meant. mostly just because the one in the original photo looked like it might be thin and only have a thread or two engaging. But I wasn't sure if it is supposed to be...
