  • 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.

    Dividing head de-crustification

    Never seen it on any of our stuff! We are HP limited by field size around here. Biggest clear field we've got is only 42 Acres, and we farm a bunch as small as 1.2. Biggest we've got is 112HP at the moment, with slightly undersized implements to match... We seem to do it the very hard way! lol...

    Thanks for getting back to me. I can and will make use of the backing plate, I just wanted to find a few more. I've got a few chucks/collet holders I want to use with it. I can cut 4.5 TPI on my lathe, I've just never heard of such a beast. Maybe I missed it in the hand book. All the...

Who built these things?

    6" Swedish Fish (Dividing Head)

    I’ll be honest here. I was hoping to make this a little more photo journalistic, but as is tradition I got caught up in the job and just kept going. At some point in my disassembly, I pounded out a pin. That pin happened to be tapered and I tapped the wrong end. This resulted in the two tabs...

    6" Swedish Fish (Dividing Head)

    Many moons ago, before I had a lathe, before I had my own shop... I had a shaper. A Swedish Shaper Shaped Object to be exact (SSSO). This lived a rugged life in the great outdoors under cover. It got a lot of use, but seeing as I had lost my old shop thanks to some greedy landlords and the new...
