  • 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!

    BaitMaster’s (Work) Bench

    The TEFC motor will be great. I have a full shield behind my lathe to stop coolant and oil from spraying out across things. If tour lathe backs to the wall you should be a-ok. I will update you with some pics tomorrow. I still have a shield to make for Miss Metric so that will be posted at...

    BaitMaster’s (Work) Bench

    Just a note to maybe help : the motor on the Utilathe has the fan end exposed to where you are making chips. My Utilathes have “drip proof” motors (original to the lathe) that proved to suck in a lot of crap - mostly cutting oil vapour but I also pulled a drywall screw out of the windings...

    Lathe Spindle End- Play

    When I rebuilt my Utilathe this was a big question so I went to the pros: https://cdn.skfmediahub.skf.com/api/public/0901d1968065f1f4/pdf_preview_medium/0901d1968065f1f4_pdf_preview_medium.pdf This explains a lot. Just like the wheel bearings in your car you can torque (load) the bearing and...

    KaKa metal bender 48”

    @David_R8 what combo machine did you purchase? I watched some vid on the KAKA machine and it seemed to handle 16 gauge ok. Mostly that would be max. I am setting up a bit prematurely for a bunch of metal work on my car project and, well, there is always something to bend ;)

    Tool Morse taper drill bits

    For the lathes and my drill press I use them all the time for rough boring and setting up for internal threads etc. I use the regular drills up to 1/2”’and the MT drills from 1/2” up to 1” in steps of 1/64”. If the bore needs to be precise I will drill just below the required diameter and...

    parts for Black & Decker Router model 7610

    @Tom Fitzpatrick : the router I have is a craftsman of the same kind of style. It has a double collet lock and the lock part is broken. Perhaps your router has a similar collet locking? If so, I could box this up and send it? The gearing on this router is steel. The rack is 3/8” wide.

    Brent Builds!!

    So another update: Things are flying by and already half of January is in the past. Spend a couple days emptying more boxes and filling bins and pullout trays with parts and pieces: Built a stand for the Mitresaw that will have a couple drawers and another stack of part bins. The saw is level...

    parts for Black & Decker Router model 7610

    @Tom Fitzpatrick : I might have that router in a case with some other goodies - I will look tomorrow. If memory serves me, the collet lock/collet in general is NFG - if it is a match as a donar router I can ship it out to you. - just need to locate the case
