  • 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!

    Perhaps...... But then again, the clamp is the biggest part of this job. The puller is peanuts to make. Basically just two big fat washers with a cut-out to clear the bar and 2 holes in each for the puller bolts. There is virtually no chance that it will harm the casting and virtually no chance...

    And the other wrench goes where........???? More grandkids are here today so I'm not expecting to get much done. But next up is machining the clamp screw bossed, then the screw holes, then tapping. I setup the coordinates last night and my DRO remembers where it is despite turning off the...

    Wow! I've never seen that before! As many on here will know, this is similar to the way that a granite surface plate is designed. By lapping the final dimensions while on its 3 mounting pads, the plate preserves its dimensions after installing by mounting it on the same 3 points at the users...

    Wife came out to the shop tonight "I gotta see what you are up to out there. Can't have no other women moving in on my action". She took one look and then pronounced "You are an idiot sometimes. All that work for nothing. All you need is two big pipe wrenches to take that little valve off!"...

    Heck, I may not make the week myself! It might be faster to just ship the steel to @David!

    There was. It was painted over. But I found it early in the process. I believe, but do not know for certain, that the shaft was painted, the casting moved out of the way - onto the wet paint, and then painted again. If my Puller won't move it, I'll have to cut it off. But I have huge...

    I've seen cats take rabbits. Even a hare sometimes. But never a rat. That's a first for me. I always thought you needed a, terrier for that. Now that's a sight to see! Terriers are rat killing nuclear bombs!

    Looks waaaay better than that flapper/flag thing. More sensitive, better leverage, more solid. Did another 2 cycles of heat and liquid wrench. No joy. Your garden is looking good compared to my honey-do tasks.
