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!

Heck, he's probably using it right now to build itself.No kidding. He'll be using it by morning
Why aren't they painted yet. And where are the racing stripes. It won't do anything fast without racing stripes.
Greatness takes time
So far my work consists of sending the file to the laser cutter dude and then driving into the wilds of Vancouver Island to pick up the parts.
I’ll try and do a decent job TIG welding it together
David - hope you don't mind a bit of a hijack here, didn't see a reason to start a new thread.
Here's my grinder, outside of the colour it looks pretty much like the video. The only thing I added was an DPDT on/off switch for the 240v as the VFD doesn't have an on/off button.
Even with a 1.5hp 3ph motor it doesn't take a heavy push to bog it down but otherwise it does work well.

Nice job!
Nice!
I have that same vfd on my lathe, i dont think it is sealed, might want to put some kind of filter material over the ?ports?vents? All that electrically conductive dust youll be making might find its way in and burn the vfd out
Nice! Really going to have to pay a visit one of these days.
Um……….run/stop ? Am I missing something ?
Although I'd guess that they exist, I have not run across a VFD that has an on/off yet. Run, Stop, Reverse - yes. On/off - no.
A switch in the input power line is simple and serves that purpose well.
