  • 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!

    Well.....I picked something up over the weekend and all it is missing is the original tool post. Might as well complete the set. ;) If I keep it, I have a QCTP on my mini lathe that will get moved over. (Actually it might be too big.)

    You can write simple G-code in a text editor and feed it into the controller. ( I do this on LinuxCNC and Mach3) I do it all the time. In fact I have a little library built up.... I cut and paste what I need, change a few values and I'm off and running. I had the same thoughts when I...
