  • 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!

    Lathe worm gear repair

    The existing key should run the full length, but only about 1" remains. The set screws (#56) hold the end bushings in place in the main housing of the apron. My "idea" like a said not a good one. Is to drill four new set screws in either end of the worm gear. Broaching I didn't think would...

    Looking for a set of change gears for a King 1022 lathe

    I have some change gears to something. Came with my Mill, the guy was selling a small lathe at the same time and they made their way home with me hidden in a box. Don't need them, but not sure they would work for you. Can't tell you much more. Unfortunately they are in long term storage for...
