  • 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!

    very stiff tailstock quill

    I have the rude and crude version - just a set screw with lower threads worn by the keyway slot - I should try to make a sliding shoe like the one in your pictures

    very stiff tailstock quill

    thanks - this mis-adventure started with me disassembling the tailstock to extricate the spring and ball from a damaged ball-oiler. While apart, I cleaned everything with varsol in the parts cleaner and re-oiled everything during reassembly. I bought some Prussian Blue today, but didn't...
