  • 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!

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    This one made me laugh ....I posted recently a 3D printed saw rack using rounds bits as a lock. When thinking about it, I was search around for ideas and asked it "drawings please for a dowel based hand saw rack" This is what I got. So yeah, its slick, but a long way from perfect

    Drilling with the cross slide

    Dean Smith and Grace made an attachment for it (unfortunately the only attachment I don't have :( ) There's a position stop on the cross slide ways so it ends up in the perfect position every time. Drills are held very securely eliminating the risk of messing up the tailstock taper. Might be...

    Anyone know there way around O/A torch brands?

    My torch is driving my crazy, well not sure if its the torch or the regulators. You'll get the flame set and then it keeps changing, constantly needs adjustment which is hard/impossible to do when you're concentrating on the braze. Just messed a silver solder job and I've it with this POS. It...

    I share the concern, but feel like we're already there in part. To huge swaths of the population the truth doesn't matter anymore. Political constituents are fanboys instead of critics - look at what's happened in the US and I feel it here now. In a way it is just a continuation of the...

    Looking into 3d printing

    That imo is head and shoulders the winner. A bit spendy, but feature rich, great prints, fast (X1 Carbon) and super reliable. Get the AMS (multiple spools). If you don't you'll soon want it (imo). You don't have to be be into printing multi nick knacks or orcs to want it - it is just night...

    need infos for increase a hole from 3/4 to one inch this blade is from Stihl blade the number is T15 07 4000 713 3902 MAX 11500 RPM

    wonder what they make those out of? Must be tough stuff as the body is the same material as the cutting edge. what did you use for a drill, twist drill or step drill? Even if it was mild steel, that would be hard to do on a drill press. The way to do it is like Martin says, using a boring...
