  • 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!

    The original colour is so much nicer than that ugly dull olive green. Also notice the shaft scoring where the adapter was originally stuck to the shaft - right side of shaft in photo. I'll have to polish that out lest it seize again in the future.

    Shop A very cool engine hoist

    This popped up on my email this morning. I'm not suggesting anyone run out and buy one, but the concept is very cool! All hydraulic - even the turret motor. I especially like the collapsing side supports. Very cool! Too bad I'd need to be able to weld to make my own.

    Wanted Atlas shaper Rotary Table S7-420

    I hope you don't mind a suggestion on your classified ad. If you do, I'll delete it. I have not had any luck looking for the rotary table and indexer for my AAMCO 7" shaper. For the number of times they might be used, I'm thinking about getting a 4" aluminium table off of Ali Express and...

    Machine Best portable tool for short orthogonal slices?

    What @Martin w says. Years ago I made a wooden picket fence. The board tops had a curved peak instead of straight edges. Impossible to cut freehand. I made a jig out of 3/4" plywood with the right form shape and then stuffed the fence boards into the jig and used a router to cut the boards...

    Youtube- The curious origins of (the words for) imperial and metric units

    If you enjoyed those tidbits, you would also enjoy "Beyond Measure" by James Vincent. Another member suggested it to me and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

    What are your thoughts on using an annular cutter with the right size cutter ID instead of a boring head?

    Shop Garage Hoist - How it's going to kill me?

    You misunderstood I think. At my age, sex kills. Happens a lot. I always said I want to die in the saddle. It's a good way to go. If my girl wants to use an uncertified piece of artistic hardware to help her get into some kinky position, I'm game!

    Circuit breaker tracer

    I have a Klein. It works but isn't perfect. Sometimes I have to resort to lights and lamps. I have created a circuit map for every home and outbuilding I ever owned. I tape a copy to the back of the breaker box door.
