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! 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!

Steel of some kind.
I'm still not impressed. But I'll prolly keep them.
The sliding block wobbles as the screw is tightened. Ordinary 60 degree threads on the Leade screw. Fit and finish is poor. But they were not expensive.
The Bosche has Acme threads and it's smooth as silk with solid fit and finish. But Amazon doesn't seem to have them anymore.
So I'll prolly keep the KBC handles for now.

OK, but fair is fair.
The KBC 11 & 12 are $30 & $95
The 11 is 3/8 to 1
The 12 is 3/4 to 1-1/2
My Bosche was $63. It is 1/2 to 1-1/8 which is halfway between the KBC #11 and #12. Coincidentally, so is the price. So I think it's reasonable to say that you get more for your money with the Bosche. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available anymore.
