  • 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!

    Next on the agenda...

    A couple of buddies bought a sawmill a few years back. It was cutting all sorts of wonky. I went out and found the blade guides all worn and the one guide mounting arm was bent. I threw an indicator on the base and ran the head/blade over and found .100 of change from the front of the teeth...

    Tool Amazon Vee Blocks (Fowler Label)

    Bought these on Amazon for a sweet price and I really should have known better. They were $50 and labeled Fowler and even had Fowler numbers, 52-475-555 The 0.125” slot on the bottom was absolutely terrible. I put them on my mill and ran an indicator along the V and found one side was out...
