  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

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.

For what it's worth I never had any issues with blade creep or blade loosen with this holder as long as you button it down. Believe the widest diameter I parted off was a 2" incher with no chatter. Use a good lubricant and feed slowly.

Thanks for the tool holders.

Hey Craig, ouch that looks sore. Hopefully the medicine man gave you some pain killers.

Be extremely careful out there!

If you keep the tool clear the chips just peel off in swirls. I've never experienced this before.....

I'll have to keep this blade as a model for grinding the rest of my blades.

Thanks,

Craig

But Bill @Dusty seems to have nailed the proper tool geometry....

I just zipped off another three nuts. No drama. No problems.

Amazing...
