  • 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!

    Brown and sharpe no.13 universal grinder

    Leblond no 2 tool and cutter grinder tear down

    Yes it has 2 tapered gibs adjusted on each end of the table. That's a good idea to stop it cracking, although i believe it to be from abuse and not normal stress. The rails that hold the rollers is pinned in 3 or 4 places, removing one or two pins would give access to the damaged rollers, I...

    Watchmaker lathe countershaft parts

    They are pretty small, I'd guess for a wolf Jean style lathe they are about the right size.
