  • 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!

    Welcome, Loaded gears can and do sound different, especially if too much backlash exists they will slap around. The tight spot as it rotates does indeed worry me. I do not have specs or dimensions for your gear, but others might. Perhaps even a source for the gear! Enjoy your stay!

    Lol, what a reply. I love the ideas. It was more of a teaser question. As to the cerrasafe. I use sulfer. Heat it up enough to melt and pour. Much like the cerrasafe. Especially nice for rifle chambers-throat. Thanks again.

As in a pro vs. con - one vs. the other? I also took note how it was trammed, you must clamp down on...
