  • 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.

    Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

    Thanks for the support, I’m going to persevere for a wee while longer. I’m out of the country for a month so they have a bit of time. When I return I am writing directly to HQ. I’m not asking for much just a “Dear Donald sorry for the delay, it will take x time and we will have it back to you...

    Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

Not just any tool’s but specialty tools on a different scale. This summer I took the dive and bought my...

    New CX 601 Mill

    Okay, I’m going to pull that all apart and go for some more detailed check. Get the meter on it and see what I’d going on. Having pulled the fuses, I see from many folks that the actual holders are dodgy. My experience with most electrics is as you say connections, connections, connections...

    Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

    Oh don’t worry I am a shameless promoter of all that is Nunavut related, Nunavut is Canada’s own Tibet, a little known cultural wonder in the north. Once I have this all figured out there will be lots of video, photos and my stream of consciousness or unconscious posts! Cheers D
