  • 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!

    Product Leaking Parts Washer

    I have a small Torin parts cleaner from Canadian Tire. Never did like the steel bendy thing, so I took mine off, ran rubber hosing from pump up to a Tee which is attached to the lid by a magnet, then, from this tee had a separate plastic bendy thing and another rubber hose which fed solvent...

    Well blast, I guess it had to happen

    I agree we should not be too casual about this,, but the pandemic is shifting to an endemic. The CDC reports that 40% of people develop long covid, but they define that as anyone with any lingering symptom(s) of 4 weeks or longer. That seems like a short timeline, as even a common cold can...

    SKUNK!!!!!

    Skunks!!! We have them around our house. They love the grubs that our yard seems to provide. Our dog got skunked. Both cats were sprayed at the same time one night. That was fun - giving two cats multiple baths. My wife and daughter were away in Montreal. They returned and knew something...

    Product King canada pdm30

    Now that you have verified that it is indeed a faulty motor, I agree with David that you should contact King Canada again and give them the opportunity to do the right thing. In my opinion, this is a big deal. Not only did you pay for a proper functioning motor, you also paid for a warranty...

    Welding carts & compressed gases

    Last time I filled my acetylene tank, the gas supplier recommended I switch to propane "to save money". I asked if it worked well, and he says oxy/propane is all they use in their own shops. It is cheaper, and, using propane from a barbecue tank, it is very convenient to re-fill. I did a bit...
