  • 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.

    New tracking at Amazon

    Yesterday, I ordered a small 3/8 drill chuck with a 1/4" hex arbour and a 1/2" drive adapter. I thought it might make some of my small woodworking jobs easier as long as it wasn't a piece of junk. Returns are easy with Amazon. So I took a chance. Today, I got a notice that it was out for next...

    Spring is Here!

    Yesterday, we saw two separate new born fawns on our farm. This one was born right up close to the house. We didn't even know it was there till mom came back to lead it away. So cute with long wobbly legs and a body the size of a kitty cat!

    Tool holders for AMMCO Shaper

    My new AMMCO Shaper has a size 0 lantern tool post on it. I plan to investigate ways to install an improved toolpost with emphasis on the one that @140mower developed. But in the meantime, it seems prudent to get a few tool holders to fit the current lantern tool post. It came with 1 lonely Left...

    New to me 6"Jointer

    I got so caught up in the excitement of my new Shaper that I forgot to brag about this gem that followed me home the same day. @CWret snagged it for me and brought it to our meetup preview. It's a 6" Taiwan Jointer. I don't do as much wood work as I used to, but one of my biggest limitations...

    WTH - Got these inserts on Ali

    I ordered some of these CVD inserts on Ali: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqIOvgP They were just a great price on some WNMG inserts. At $2.80 each for 6 edges. They might last me forever! I received these: They appear to be genuine Sandvik Coromant/Corokey inserts! If so, this is probably the...
