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!

Yesterday I got started on the power feed for my RF30 clone.
I bought a cheap Vevor powerfeed that I'll have to adapt to fit. Need to enlarge the bore of the gear first. Got it dialed in the 4-jaw yesterday while my sweetie watched, completely intrigued by the process. She asked if she could watch the boring but I didn't feel well enough to try it. So today I sit on the couch trying to beat off whatever malady ails me.

No blues, I'm actually sick. I don't have Covid symptoms just headache and general malaise.

Whatever the issue do take care of yourself then hurry back.
Thanks Dusty, I've been under the weather for about two weeks now. I actually don't know what's going on.
Wasn't that about the time I saw you?????? cough cough sniffle sniffle,,,lol,
Just toying with your emotion, take care and have sweetie make you some chicken soup.
Small update on my health.
I’ve been admitted to hospital with multiple pulmonary embolisms.
Not the end of the world but not to be trifled with.
On a positive note, the vendor for the power feed unit refunded me $120 of the $168 total cost due to misrepresentation of the product and failure to communicate with me.

Dang it
Speedy recovery
What's the story on the power feed? What was misrepresented? You got $120 back and kept the PF?
The pics were all X-axis feeds and I had asked about that. Their response was completely nonsense and said everything was fine.
So I guess they felt badly and gave me back a bunch of money for my trouble.
Thanks for all the well wishes. I’m getting great care!
Speedy recovery @David_R8 - if I lived closer I would make sure your surface grinder wasn't lonely....get well soon!
I’m sure it would appreciate the company!

Get well soon David. Glad your didn't let Vevor get away with their sloppy advertising.
Thanks Frank, I’m an edge case apparently. All my vitals are completely normal but they want to run some additional tests.
I’ll do my level best to get better soon!
